Abstract
A vehicle in which a contactless charger is installable, the contactless charger being capable of performing wireless charging of a mobile device. The vehicle includes a traveling controller and a device managing unit. The traveling controller is configured to perform at least traveling control of first traveling characteristics and traveling control of second traveling characteristics. The second traveling characteristics are traveling characteristics in which behavior of the vehicle is gentler than that in the first traveling characteristics. The device managing unit is configured to switch the contactless charger between a charging-capable state and a non-working state. When the device managing unit switches the contactless charger to the charging-capable state, the traveling controller changes traveling characteristics to the second traveling characteristics.
