Abstract

A first opening/closing device is connected between a power storage device and a first pair of power lines. A second opening/closing device is connected between the power storage device and a second pair of power lines. A third opening/closing device opens and closes an electric conduction path between the power storage device and each of the first opening/closing device and the second opening/closing device. When starting to externally supply electric power, a control device charges a first capacitor connected between the first pair of power lines by closing the first opening/closing device and the third opening/closing device, and thereafter charges a second capacitor connected between the second pair of power lines by closing the second opening/closing device and opening the third opening/closing device.
