Abstract
A charging system includes a charging device that includes a plug and a charger which supplies electric power to the plug, a vehicle that includes an inlet to which the plug is connected and a power storage device to which electric power is supplied through the inlet, and a notification device that notifies a user of information. The charging device is capable of switching a charging mode from a normal charging mode to a power limited mode in which the charging power is smaller than the normal charging mode. When the charge fee required to complete the charging in the power limited mode is higher than the charge fee required to complete the charging in the normal charging mode, the notification device inquires the user about whether or not to switch the charging mode to the power limited mode.
