Abstract:
An electric power reception terminal is configured such that it can electrically be connected to an AC power supply. A charger is configured to convert AC power input from the electric power reception terminal to a prescribed DC voltage. A non-contact electric power reception portion is configured to receive electric power in a non-contact manner from an AC power supply as a result of magnetic coupling to an electric power transmission portion of the AC power supply. The non-contact electric power reception portion is connected to an electric power conversion circuit of the charger. A charge ECU compares conductive-reception electric power with non-contact-reception electric power, and controls the charger to perform charging by using any greater one of the conductive-reception electric power and the non-contact-reception electric power, based on a result of comparison.
