Abstract

In an electric charging system (and electric vehicle), Electric-charger-side data Ds are calculated by subjecting an electric-charger-side supplied voltage Vs to filter processing, and electric-vehicle-side data Dr are calculated by subjecting an electric-vehicle-side received voltage Vr to filter processing. A reference point α1 is set for the electric-charger-side data Ds on the basis of the variation in the rise rate of the electric-charger-side data Ds. Likewise, a reference point α2 is set for the electric-vehicle-side data Dr based on variation in the rise rate of the electric-vehicle-side data Dr. When an insulation failure between the electric charger and the electric vehicle is determined, a time lag T between the electric-charger-side data Ds and the electric-vehicle-side data Dr is calculated based on the reference points α1 and α2, and the electric-charger-side data Ds and the electric-vehicle-side data Dr that are synchronized based on the time lag T are compared.
