Provided is a control apparatus for a vehicle, wherein a detection signal, indicating the connection state of an external power-feeding apparatus (100) to an external-charging connection unit (5) of a vehicle (1), is inputted from a connection-state detection signal generating unit (11) to a storage-apparatus management-control unit (10) and to a power converter control unit (8). When a detection signal indicating that an operation to release a lock mechanism (108), which latches onto the external power-feeding apparatus (100) connected to the external-charging connection unit (5), is inputted from the connection-state detection signal generating unit (11), the power converter control unit (8) controls a power converter (7), which feeds power from the external power feeding apparatus (100) to a storage apparatus (3), to be in a power-feeding cutting-off state, independent of a charging control command inputted from the storage-apparatus management-control unit (10).
