CONTACTLESS CHARGING SYSTEM, CHARGING STATION, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING CONTACTLESS CHARGING SYSTEM

摘要

A charging station transmits weak electric power from an available power transmission device of a plurality of power transmission devices when a second communication unit receives a power transmission request signal from a first communication unit. The charging station performs pairing between a vehicle and the power transmission device with which the vehicle has been aligned, in response to reception of an alignment completion signal from the vehicle. The charging station transmits a charging cancellation signal to a vehicle other than the vehicle that has been aligned with the power transmission device, when the pairing is completed.
