Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle includes a vehicle battery, a motor generator, a circuit, and a controller. The motor generator receives and outputs electric power from and to the vehicle battery and an external battery. The circuit couples the vehicle battery and the external battery to the motor generator. The controller controls the vehicle battery and the external battery, based on a first mode or a second mode. In the first mode, electric power is transferred between the motor generator and the vehicle battery and between the vehicle battery and the external battery, and not transferred between the motor generator and the external battery. In the second mode, electric power is transferred between the motor generator and the vehicle battery and between the motor generator and the external battery. The controller shifts to the first mode when a load applied to the circuit exceeds a predetermined load in the second mode.
