A circuit includes a vehicle-side circuit, a charger-side circuit and a connecting part. The vehicle-side circuit includes a power source, a first resistor provided between the power source and the connecting part, a second resistor which is connected to the first resistor in series, a switch which turns on or off current supply from the power source, a voltage detector which detects a voltage at a connection point of the first resistor and the second resistor, a determining part which determines a state of connection between a vehicle-side connector and a charger-side connector and occurrenceof a failure in the vehicle-side circuit based at least in part on the voltage detected by the voltage detector and an on/off state of the switch.
