A charging connector connection determining method includes providing a locking pin at a charging inlet of an electric vehicle, in which the locking pin is configured to move to be in a first state that allows for attachment, to the charging inlet, of a charging connector provided at an end of a charging cable, a second state in which the locking pin is positioned more in an advancing direction than the first direction to be engaged with the charging connector, and a third state in which the locking pin is positioned more in the advancing direction than the second state and prevents the charging connector from being attached to the charging inlet, and determining presence of coupling of the charging connector to the charging inlet, by moving the locking pin in the advancing direction and detecting a state of the locking pin among the first, second, and third states.
