Vehicle and system for charging the same
First Claim
1. A vehicle comprising:
- an electric power accumulation unit;
a charging channel which is connected to an external power supply unit and leads electric power to the electric power accumulation unit;
a power supply preparation detection unit which detects a power supply preparation state to the electric power accumulation unit via the charging channel;
a drive start operation unit; and
a drive controller which disables an operation of the drive start operation unit when the power supply preparation detection unit detects the power supply preparation state.

Abstract
Provided is a practical plug-in hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle as well as a charge system, a fuel consumption measurement system, and an environment protection system for the vehicles. The charge system includes an electric power source charging a vehicle having a battery, a power supply unit for supplying electric power from the electric power source to the vehicle, and a power cable communication unit for performing power cable communication concerning the vehicle and the charging via the power supply unit. The vehicle includes a fuel tank for receiving oil from outside, a storage unit for storing oil supply information, a power source which consumes the fuel in the fuel tank and provides a travel power, a travel distance information acquisition unit, and a control unit which automatically calculates the fuel consumption according to the oil supply information in the storage unit and the travel distance information in the travel distance acquisition unit.

5. A vehicle comprising:
-
an electric power accumulation unit; a charging channel which is connected to an external power supply unit and leads electric power to the electric power accumulation unit; a fuel tank which receives refueling from the outside; a detection unit which detects an electric power accumulated state of the electric power accumulation unit; a first power source which consumes fuel in the fuel tank so as to generate drive power, a second power source which consumes electric power in the electric power accumulation unit so as to generate drive power; and a controller which is capable of selecting between a first mode in which switching from the second power source to the first power source is performed on the basis of a first detection level of the detection unit and a second mode in which switching from the second power source to the first power source is performed on the basis of a second detection level of the detection unit that is different from the first detection level. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)

8. A vehicle comprising:
-
a fuel tank which receives refueling from the outside; a storage unit which stores fuel supply information to the fuel tank; a power source which consumes fuel in the fuel tank so as to provide travel power; a travel distance information acquisition unit; and a controller which calculates fuel consumption automatically on the basis of the fuel supply information stored in the storage unit and travel distance information in the travel distance acquisition unit, wherein the controller calculates the fuel consumption automatically from a refueling amount this time and travel distance information from refueling the last time to refueling this time on the fuel supply information stored in the storage unit if both the refueling the last time and the refueling this time to the fuel tank were performed to fill up, and the controller does not calculate the fuel consumption automatically on the basis of the refueled amount and the travel distance information if at least one of the refueling the last time and the refueling this time to the fuel tank is not performed to fill up.

9. A vehicle comprising:
-
a fuel tank which receives refueling from the outside; a storage unit which stores fuel supply information to the fuel tank; a power source which consumes fuel in the fuel tank so as to provide travel power; a travel distance information acquisition unit; and a controller which calculates fuel consumption automatically on the basis of the fuel supply information stored in the storage unit and travel distance information in the travel distance acquisition unit; wherein the controller calculates the fuel consumption on the basis of an accumulated refueled amount stored in the storage unit and accumulated travel distance information obtained from the travel distance information acquisition unit, if it is decided that the accumulated refueled amount stored in the storage unit is sufficiently larger than the capacity of the fuel tank.

10. A vehicle comprising:
-
a fuel tank which receives refueling from the outside; a storage unit which stores fuel supply information to the fuel tank; a power source which consumes fuel in the fuel tank so as to provide travel power; a travel distance information acquisition unit; and a controller which calculates fuel consumption automatically on the basis of the fuel supply information stored in the storage unit and travel distance information in the travel distance acquisition unit; an instant fuel consumption meter which calculates instant fuel consumption under driving by detecting fuel supply situation from the fuel tank to the engine unit; and a correction unit which corrects the instant fuel consumption meter on the basis of the fuel consumption calculated by the controller. - View Dependent Claims (11)
