1. A vehicular control device for use in a vehicle by a user, the vehicle including:
- (i) a rotating electric machine configured as a driving source, (ii) a plurality of power storage devices for supplying said rotating electric machine with electric power, and (iii) an electric charging device configured to electrically charge said plurality of power storage devices from an external power supply, said plurality of power storage devices being connected in parallel, the vehicular control device comprising;
an input device configured to input an instruction of the user of said vehicle based on an operation to any one of;
(1) a brake pedal, (2) an acceleration pedal, and (3) a steering wheel; and
an electronic control unit configured to perform;
a first electric charging control for electrically charging said plurality of power storage devices to have a state of charge to attain an electrically fully charged state in response to connecting said external power supply to said electric charging device, anda second electric charging control in response to connecting said external power supply to said electric charging device and receiving an instruction from the input device by the user to perform said second electric charging control, said second electric charging control including electrically charging each power storage device by the external power supply to have a state of charge equal to a threshold value smaller than an upper limit value set for a state of charge corresponding to said electrically fully charged state.
