Abstract
A vehicle includes an electric power reception device configured to contactlessly receive electric power from an electric power transmission device outside the vehicle, a charging inlet configured such that a charging connector of a charging cable that supplies electric power to the vehicle is connected to the charging inlet, a restriction mechanism configured to restrict connection of the charging connector to the charging inlet, and a controller configured to execute a process of stopping electric power reception performed by the electric power reception device when the charging connector is connected to the charging inlet during the electric power reception performed by the electric power reception device. The controller controls the restriction mechanism to restrict connection of the charging connector to the charging inlet during the electric power reception performed by the electric power reception device.
