Original Abstract Submitted
a traveling noncontact power supply system of the present disclosure supplies electric power from a road-side power supply device to a vehicle-side power receiving device in a contactless manner. the road-side power supply device has a first communication device for wide-area wireless communication and a second communication device for short-range wireless communication. the vehicle-side power receiving device has a third communication device for wide-area wireless communication and a fourth communication device for short-range wireless communication. the vehicle can perform regenerative braking to charge a power storage device. if the compatibility between the road-side power supply device and the vehicle-side power receiving device is satisfied, and there is a possibility that the power storage device is overcharged, predetermined charging control is performed by short-range wireless communication to prevent overcharging of the power storage device. if there is no possibility, the predetermined charging control by short-range wireless communication is not performed.
