Description

Vehicle and method of controlling vehicle Cross Reference to Related Applications The present application claims priority and benefit from korean patent application No.10-2020-0039521, filed on 1 month 4 in 2020, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field The invention relates to a vehicle and a method of controlling a vehicle. Background Air conditioning is essential in vehicles due to hot summer weather. However, the frequent use of air conditioning causes moisture to condense on the evaporator and blower of the vehicle, which provides an optimal environment for mold propagation. Due to mold, when the air conditioner is turned on, the smell of mold may leak out of the air conditioner. Accordingly, some users operate the air conditioner of the vehicle in an air blowing mode before reaching a destination to dry related components, or install a privately manufactured product for post-air blowing to automatically remove moisture when the ignition of the vehicle is turned off. The blowing operation to remove moisture in the vehicle before reaching the destination is very troublesome, and the user may feel hot and uncomfortable because the vehicle has to be driven in a blowing mode or stays in the vehicle after reaching. When the vehicle ignition is off, the late blow cannot be kept on because all control devices are powered off when the vehicle ignition is off. If the air conditioner blower is operated after the vehicle ignition is turned off, the vehicle battery may be discharged, and it is cumbersome for the user to keep the ignition on to operate the post-air supply. In addition, when a product having a function called "post-air blowing" is used privately, additional costs are required and troublesome installation work is required. In addition, it is troublesome for the user to directly turn on/off the power of the post-air blowing product. Disclosure of Invention The present invention provides a method of performing a post-air blowing function of an electric vehicle using electric power of a charging device during charging of the electric vehicle. Additional aspects of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. One aspect of the present invention provides a vehicle including a battery charged by a charging device, an air conditioner, and a controller configured to check whether the battery is being charged, and to apply power supplied from the charging device to the air conditioner in response to the battery being charged, wherein the air conditioner performs a blowing operation using the applied power to perform a post-blowing function. The vehicle may further include a display device on which information regarding the post-air supply function is displayed, wherein the information regarding the post-air supply function may include information regarding whether to perform at least one of the post-air supply function, the first time, and the second time. If the time between the power outage of the air conditioner and the desire to perform the post-air supply function is within a first time, the controller may control the air conditioner to perform an air-blowing operation to perform the post-air supply function. In the reserved air-conditioning state according to the planned departure time of the vehicle, the controller may control the air conditioner to perform the blowing operation in response to the user not having arrived at the vehicle. The controller may check whether the door of the vehicle is in a locked state to determine whether the user has arrived at the vehicle. The controller may check whether the ignition of the vehicle is in an off state to determine whether the user has arrived at the vehicle. The controller may control the air conditioner to be energized before a planned departure time of the vehicle, and upon arrival of the planned departure time, the controller may control the air conditioner to be deenergized and perform a blowing operation to perform a post-blowing function according to a reserved air conditioning state. When the second time elapses, the controller may control the air conditioner to automatically terminate the blowing operation to terminate the post-blowing function. Another aspect of the present invention provides a method of controlling a vehicle, the method including checking a state of charge of a battery charged by a charging device, applying power supplied from the charging device to an air conditioner in response to determining that the battery is being charged, and performing a blowing operation by the air conditioner using the applied power to perform a post-blowing function. The method may further include displaying information regarding the post-air delivery function. The information about the post-air supply function may include information about whether to perform at least one of the post-a
