Abstract
A vehicle includes a battery, an electric power acquirer, a power supply unit, first and second relays, a controller, a vehicle controller, and a first determination unit. The first determination unit makes a determination, at a system start-up, as to whether or not a power receiving coil of the electric power acquirer is in position to be available for electric power reception from a power transmitting coil of ground facilities. The controller changes, at the system start-up, a switching procedure of the first relay and the second relay on the basis of a result of the determination of the first determination unit.
