PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate utilization of external battery charging.SOLUTION: In a case where a utilization indicator IDX showing an extent in utilization of external battery charging is smaller than a threshold Iref (S210), it is determined that external battery charging is utilized at a low frequency, and it is executed a battery charging guiding control facilitating utilization of external battery charging upon parking at a battery charging point, such as a house or a battery charging station, where external battery charging may be carried out (S220). Thereby, a driver is urged to utilize external battery charging upon parking at the battery charging point. As a result, utilization of the external battery charging is facilitated.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】外部充電の利用の促進を図る。【解決手段】外部充電の利用の程度を示す利用指標ＩＤＸが閾値Ｉｒｅｆ未満のときには（Ｓ２１０）、外部充電の利用の程度が低いと判断し、自宅や充電ステーションなどの外部充電が可能な充電ポイントでの駐車時に、外部充電の利用を促す充電誘導制御を実行する（Ｓ２２０）。これにより、充電ポイントでの駐車時にドライバに外部充電の利用を促すことができる。この結果、外部充電の利用の促進を図ることができる。【選択図】図３
