Abstract:
A vehicle (1) is equipped with a power‑receiving terminal (34), a charger (32), and a contactless power‑receiving part (36). The power‑receiving terminal (34) is configured such that it can be electrically connected to an alternating‑current power supply (50). The charger (32) is configured to convert alternating‑current power input from the power‑receiving terminal (34) to a prescribed direct‑current voltage. The contactless power‑receiving part (36) is configured to receive power contactlessly from an alternating‑current power source (52) by being magnetically coupled with a power transmitting part of the alternating‑current power source (52). Here, the contactless power‑receiving part (36) is connected to a power conversion circuit in the charger (32).
