Abstract

There are provided a power supply system, an electric vehicle and a charging adapter. Electric power from a commercial power supply is distributed to electric lines by way of a distribution board and provided to electric apparatuses and an electric vehicle from the electric lines. When power consumption of electric apparatuses exceeds a predetermined value upon charging the electric vehicle, charging power to be supplied to the electric vehicle is decreased. Decreasing the charging power to the electric vehicle can avoid the restriction of the use of the electric apparatuses, thereby improving user's satisfaction.
