When the charging amount S1 of the battery is equal to or greater than the first reference charging amount R1 and the startup command is input, (Ta) is confirmed and stored. After the starting is turned off, the charged amount of the battery is checked again. When the confirmed charging amount S2 of the battery is equal to or greater than the first reference charging amount R1 and the starting command is inputted, After the time Tb is confirmed and stored, after the start-up is turned off, the charge amount of the battery is checked and the input of the start command is continuously checked.

The vehicle sets a plurality of temperature adjustment times based on the identified startup time.

More specifically, the vehicle is driven at a time Ta1 after a certain time from the confirmed starting time Ta0, a time Ta2 after a predetermined time from the confirmed starting time Ta0, (222) the temperature control time.

By setting a plurality of temperature control timings using the temperature control unit as described above, it is possible to provide an environment optimized for the user even when the commute time or the vehicle use time varies.

If the current time is the temperature control time Ta1, the next vehicle controls the operation of the temperature control unit 180 so that the indoor temperature inside the vehicle is automatically controlled (224).

Here, the control of the operation of the temperature regulator 180 may be performed by any one of the heating and cooling functions of the temperature regulator 180 based on at least one of the external temperature, the month (or date), and the difference between the external temperature and the internal temperature And controlling the heating operation of the air conditioner if the determined function is the heating function and controlling the cooling operation of the air conditioner if the determined function is the cooling function.

The operation of the temperature control unit 180 is controlled by controlling at least one of the heating unit of the seat and the heating unit of the steering wheel if the determined function is a heating function and controls the operation of the ventilation unit of the seat if the determined function is cooling function .

The next vehicle judges whether the start command is inputted during the automatic temperature control (225). If it is determined that the start command is input, the automatic temperature control is skipped 226 at the next temperature control time (Ta0, Ta1) The indoor temperature control is maintained (236), and when the target temperature is input by the user, the operation of the temperature control unit is controlled based on the input target temperature and the detected room temperature so that the room temperature is maintained at the target temperature.

In addition, the vehicle can automatically stop the charging of the battery during temperature control.

The next vehicle stops the operation of the temperature control unit when a predetermined time elapses without the start command being input and stops the temperature control of the room and controls the charging of the battery based on the discharge amount consumed by the temperature control 227).

That is, the vehicle can check the charged amount of the battery after stopping the automatic temperature control, and subtract the determined charged amount from the total charged amount of the battery to determine the discharged amount of the battery.

The next vehicle is determined to be the temperature adjustment time Ta0 (228) when the startup is off. When it is determined that the temperature is the temperature adjustment time Ta0, the operation of the temperature control unit is controlled to be secondarily controlled to adjust the room temperature (229).
