A drive over estimating unit of an electric vehicle estimates whether or not wheels of the vehicle will drive over a power supplying coil, e.g., power supplying pad, from a stopped position estimation value, e.g., a deviation amount in a direction of positional shifting of the electric vehicle with respect to the power supplying pad, and a steering angle (−θ (left) or +θ (right)) when the vehicle starts to move after non-contact charging thereof is completed. A notification unit issues a notification when it is estimated that the wheels of the electric vehicle will drive over the power supplying coil, e.g., power supplying pad. |

1. A vehicle having a storage battery which is charged with electric power by non-contact charging, the electric power being supplied from a power supplying coil and being received by a power receiving coil in a non-contact manner, the vehicle comprising:
a stopped position estimating unit configured to estimate a stopped position of the vehicle, and determine a stopped position estimation value, from a positional shift amount of the power receiving coil with respect to the power supplying coil at a time of non-contact charging; a drive over estimating unit configured to estimate whether or not wheels of the vehicle will drive over the power supplying coil, from the stopped position estimation value and a steering angle, when the vehicle starts to move after non-contact charging thereof is completed; and a notification unit configured to issue a notification when it is estimated that the wheels of the vehicle will drive over the power supplying coil. |
