Device for charging energy storage device e.g. battery of vehicle e.g. electric car, has detecting unit that is arranged in vehicle portion so as to detect relative position between secondary coil and primary coil

摘要

The charging device has a secondary coil (5) that is arranged at a vehicle base portion (1.2). A charging station is provided with a primary coil (8). A detecting unit (11) is arranged in a vehicle portion so as to detect a relative position between the secondary coil and the primary coil. The primary coil is moved along three-dimensional direction. A specific reference is outputted to a rider of the vehicle based on the detected relative position between the secondary coil and the primary coil. An independent claim is included for a method for charging energy storage device of vehicle.
