Abstract
A vehicle is configured to enable electric power to be fed from a charging stand to the vehicle and/or fed from the vehicle to the charging stand. The charging stand includes a movable unit and an elevation unit. The movable unit includes a charging connector to be connected to the vehicle. The elevation unit lifts and lowers the movable unit between a stored state in which the movable unit is stored underground and an exposed state in which the movable unit is exposed from ground. The vehicle includes an HMI and an ECU that controls the HMI. When the charging stand is available, the ECU controls the HMI to display that the charging stand is available, in a manner that the position of the charging stand can be identified from the vehicle.
