Charging control apparatus for an electricity storage apparatus in a vehicle
First Claim
1. A charging control apparatus for an electricity storage apparatus in a vehicle, the electricity storage apparatus being rechargeable using an electric power source placed external to the vehicle, the charging control apparatus comprising:
- a charging portion that switches over between a charging permitted state and a charging forbidden state,the charging permitted state being a state in which charging of the electricity storage apparatus using the electric power source is permitted, the charging forbidden state being a state in which charging of the electricity storage apparatus using the electric power source is forbidden;
a detection section that detects an abnormality that occurs in the vehicle; and
a charging control section that performs a charging forbiddance control to cause the charging portion to switch from the charging permitted state to the charging forbidden state, when the abnormality that occurs in the vehicle is detected by the detection section; and
the charging control section further automatically performing a discharging acceleration control to accelerate discharging of the electricity storage apparatus.

Abstract
When detecting an abnormality, an in-vehicle wireless instrument in a plug-in vehicle sends an abnormality occurrence notification to a mobile terminal via an information center. The mobile terminal performs a notification to notify a user of the abnormality having occurred in the plug-in vehicle. When the user performs a charging forbiddance manipulation based on the notification, the mobile terminal sends a charging forbidding command to a power management ECU in the vehicle via the information center and the in-vehicle wireless instrument. When receiving the charging forbidding command, the power management ECU stops charging a battery using an external power source, and sends a setting completion notification to the mobile terminal via the in-vehicle wireless instrument and the information center. When receiving the setting completion notification, the mobile terminal notifies the user that the charging is stopped.
