In a case where a mobile terminal charging device stops charging due to a decrease of charging efficiency, the cause thereof is, for example, that the mobile terminal is slightly moved on the upper surface of the installation plate, due to the vibration and inertia resulting from the driving of the automobile. In such a case, the mobile terminal charging device moves the charging coil to a portion corresponding to the position of the mobile terminal which is detected by the detector, using a drive unit, and thereafter resumes charging, in a condition that the position of the mobile terminal which is detected by the detector and the position of the charging coil are separated from each other by the second set distance or more.
