CONTACTLESS CHARGING SYSTEM

Abstract:

A contactless charging system (1) sends electrical power to charge a battery (4) equipped to a vehicle (3). A contactless charging device (2) includes: a wireless communication device (16) which acquires travel information and use information; a target setting unit (15) which creates a charging plan including the target SOC of the battery (4), based on the information; and a charge control unit (14) which controls the sending of electrical power for battery charging based on the target SOC. The target setting unit (15) divides the average travel distance and average charge rate decrease amount into seven day of week divisions of whole day units, classifies each day of week division into the plurality of a long distance group and a short distance group based on the average travel distance, and creates a target SOC based on the average charge rate decrease amount included in each group.
