Abstract
A control pilot circuit of a power cable having a male-type plug generates a pilot signal such that the power cable can be identified as a power cable for charging on the vehicle side. On the other hand, a control pilot circuit of a power cable having a not-shown female-type plug generates the pilot signal such that the power cable can be identified as a power cable for power feeding on the vehicle side. An ECU of a vehicle controls an AC/DC converter in any one of the charging mode and the power feeding mode in response to the pilot signal.
