Abstract:
An electric vehicle includes a charging circuit and a control device. The control device is configured to set a charging current value by increasing the charging current value over time while a voltage of a battery of the charging circuit increases so that a load resistance value of the charging circuit is constant in a constant-resistance charging mode, at the time of continuing charging of the battery. The control device is configured to initiate the constant-resistance charging mode based on a determination by the control device that an SOC of the battery or the voltage of the battery is at or above a predetermined threshold value, or based on an input from a user. The control device is configured to initiate a constant-power control charging mode in which charging power of the charging circuit is constant.
