Abstract
A charging system includes a vehicle () that receives electric power with which a storage battery () is charged, from an inlet (), and a power feeding apparatus () that supplies the electric power to a power-feed-side connector () connected to the inlet (). The power feeding apparatus () and the vehicle () share a temporary signal pattern given to a control signal, through communication via communication units (), separately from communication established by connection between the inlet () and the power-feed-side connector (). The vehicle () specifies the power feeding apparatus () as a destination of wireless communication, as the apparatus connected to the inlet (), based on matching of a temporary signal pattern detected from the control signal, with the shared temporary signal pattern.
