Vehicle and non-contact power feeding apparatus

A non-contact power feeding apparatus configured to perform non-contact power feeding to a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:

• a power transmitter configured to transmit an electromagnetic wave to the vehicle;
• and
• a controller configured to shift a frequency of the electromagnetic wave in accordance with temperature information of a battery in a battery pack installed in the vehicle, the temperature information received from the vehicle, the battery pack configured to accommodate the battery with a heat generator configured to generate heat above a second threshold by using the electromagnetic wave transmitted from the power transmitter, of a frequency within a heat generation frequency band, the battery pack arranged at a space of the vehicle such that a coil of a power receiver faces a coil of the power transmitter, the power receiver configured to generate electric power above a first threshold by using the electromagnetic wave transmitted from the power transmitter enabled to shift a frequency of the electromagnetic wave, of a frequency within a power generation frequency band,
• wherein the controller is configured to change the frequency from among frequencies including:
• a first frequency included in a first frequency band overlapping
• the power generation band in which an amount of generated electric power is maintained at the first threshold or higher with
• the heat generation frequency band in which an amount of generated heat is maintained at the second threshold or higher
• a second frequency included in a second frequency band overlapping
• the power generation frequency band with a frequency band, in which an amount of heat generated by the heat generator is suppressed to be more than 0 and less than the second threshold, and
• a third frequency included in a third frequency band overlapping
• the heat generation frequency band with a frequency band, in which an amount of electric power generated by the power receiver is suppressed to be more than 0 and less than the first threshold.
