Patent attributes
A vehicle capable of receiving an electric power in a contactless manner includes a vehicle body and a power reception apparatus. A first region made of aluminum or formed so that a magnetic permeability and an electric resistance thereof are lower than a magnetic permeability and an electric resistance of aluminum, respectively, is provided at a position on one side in a reference direction relative to the power reception apparatus. A space and/or a second region formed so that a magnetic permeability and an electric resistance thereof are higher than the magnetic permeability and the electric resistance of the first region, respectively, is provided at a position on the other side in the reference direction. A winding axis of a power receiving coil is placed at a position deviating toward the one side in the reference direction from a central position in a vehicle width direction.
