Abstract
A switching relay is configured to switch between a first power feeding path for feeding power from a charge inlet to an outlet and a second power feeding path for feeding power from a power storage device to the outlet. A PM-ECU controls the switching relay to switch between the first power feeding path and the second power feeding path, based on a result of comparison between a power cost in a case where the power is fed to the outlet through the first power feeding path and a power cost in a case where the power is fed to the outlet through the second power feeding path.
