Abstract
An HV-ECU acquires electric power information from an electricity transmission line by using a modem. The electric power information includes information regarding the amount of carbon dioxide having been emitted in the generating process of the commercial electric power supplied from an electricity transmission line. When the CO2 emission amount is below a pre-set CO2 emission amount, the HV-ECU inputs the commercial electric power, and outputs a command to charge an electricity storage device to a motive power output device, so that the motive power output device executes a charging control of the electricity storage device.
