Charge cable device
First Claim
1. A charge cable device detachable from another charge cable device comprising:
- a cable having one end, which is detachable from an electric power source or another charge cable device, and an electric power line, which supplies electricity to a vehicle from the electric power source when the one end is attached to the electric power source, and supplies electricity to the vehicle from another charge cable device when the one end is attached to another charge cable device;
a charge connector arranged on the other end of the cable, the charge connector being detachable from a charge inlet of the vehicle, and being attached to the charge inlet of the vehicle when the electric power line supplies electricity to the vehicle;
a cable connector detachable from further another charge cable device, the cable connector electrically connecting between further another charge cable device and the electric power line when the cable connector is attached to further another charge cable device; and
a controller controlling an electric power supply amount of electricity to the charge connector from the one end of the cable and an electric power supply amount of electricity to further another charge cable device connected to the cable connector from the one end of the cable, wherein;
when the cable connector is not attached to further another charge cable device, the controller controls to supply electricity from the one end of the cable to the charge connector; and
when the cable connector is attached to further another charge cable device, the controller controls the electric power supply amount of electricity to the charge connector from the one end of the cable and the electric power supply amount of electricity to further another charge cable device connected to the cable connector from the one end of the cable.
