Abstract

A vehicle including a secondary battery includes an electricity generation device; an amount-of-stored electricity detection portion; an inverter that converts electric power output from the secondary battery into alternating-current power; an external load connection portion that connects an external load to the secondary battery via the inverter; and a control portion (10) that controls charging/discharging of the secondary battery. The control portion causes the electricity generation device to charge the secondary battery based on a value detected by the amount-of-stored electricity detection portion such that the amount of electricity stored in the secondary battery is in a predetermined range, and the control portion performs a control such that when the electric power is supplied to the external load during stoppage of the vehicle, an upper limit value of the amount of stored electricity is different from the upper limit value during traveling of the vehicle.
