Abstract

The vehicle is configured to be capable of performing external charging for charging the battery by a power facility provided outside the vehicle. The vehicle includes a storage device and a control device. The storage device stores certificate data for permitting execution of external charging. The control device controls a communication sequence executed between the power facility and the vehicle before the start of the external charging. The certificate data has an expiration date. The control device executes an update process for updating the certificate data when the expiration date has expired at the start of the communication sequence, and suspends the communication sequence when the timeout of the update process is predicted.
