To protect, in a vehicle allowing the execution of external charging, a component on an electrical path constituting a charging path while adjusting the temperature of a power storage device during the external charging.SOLUTION: A vehicle 100 includes a battery 101, a temperature adjustment unit 170, an inlet 102, a relay part 110, a relay part 120, a relay part 125, and an ECU 180. When a power station 200 is connected to the inlet 102, the ECU 180 controls the relay part 110 to a closed state, thereby executing external charging to charge the battery 101 by the power station 200. In the case of driving the temperature adjustment unit 170 during the execution of the external charging, when the temperature of a component on an electrical path 175 between a branch B1 and a branch B2 in a charging path 140 is higher than a threshold temperature, the ECU 180 controls the relay part 125 to an open state and controls the relay part 120 to a closed state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】外部充電を実行可能な車両において、外部充電中に、蓄電装置の温度を調整しつつ、充電経路を構成する電路における部品を保護する。【解決手段】車両１００は、バッテリ１０１と、温調ユニット１７０と、インレット１０１と、リレー部１１０と、リレー部１２０と、リレー部１２５と、ＥＣＵ１８０とを備える。ＥＣＵ１８０は、電力スタンド２００がインレット１０１に接続されている場合に、リレー部１１０を閉状態に制御することによって電力スタンド２００によりバッテリ１０１を充電する外部充電を実行する。そして、ＥＣＵ１８０は、外部充電の実行中に温調ユニット１７０を駆動する場合に、充電経路１４０のうち分岐Ｂ１と分岐Ｂ２との間の電路１７５における部品の温度がしきい温度よりも高いとき、リレー部１２５を開状態に制御するとともにリレー部１２０を閉状態に制御する。【選択図】図２
