1. A vehicle comprising:

  • an electric storage section, which can be charged using an electric power supplied from an external power supply external to said vehicle and which can be discharged by supplying an electric power to an external electric load external to said vehicle; and

    a control unit, which performs a charging operation to charge said electric storage section using said electric power supplied from said external power supply in response to an obtained request for charge, and which performs a discharging operation to supply said electric power from said electric storage section to said external electric load in response to an obtained request for discharge;

    wherein, said control unit is configured so as to stop said charging operation to realize a charge-discharge stop state in which neither said charging operation nor said discharging operation is performed when said control unit obtains said request for discharge while said charging operation is being performed, and so as to start said discharging operation in response to a newly obtained request when said control unit newly obtains said request for discharge after said charge-discharge stop state is realized.
