A resistor is connected to first and second terminals included in a
vehicle inlet. To the first terminal, a control pilot line used for
transmitting a pilot signal is connected. In the case where the vehicle
inlet is not connected to a connector, a switch is turned off. A voltage
generation circuit sets the potential of the second terminal to a
potential higher than a vehicle earth potential. In the case where the
vehicle inlet is not connected to the connector and the control pilot
line is broken, the potential generated on the control pilot line is
substantially equal to the earth potential level. Based on the potential
of the control pilot line, a control unit detects a break.
