Electric vehicle

An electric vehicle comprising:

• a charging circuit including at least
• a reception coil configured to receive, by wireless power transmission, AC power transmitted from an electrical transmission circuit outside of the vehicle, and
• a battery which is charged with power obtained by rectifying the AC power received by the reception coil;
• and
• a control device including:
• a battery voltage detecting unit configured to detect voltage of the battery, and
• a charging current value setting unit configured to set a charging current value at which to charge the battery, in accordance with the voltage of the battery detected by the battery voltage detecting unit;
• wherein the control device is configured to set the charging current value by increasing the charging current value over time while the voltage of the battery increases so that a load resistance value of the charging circuit is constant in a constant-resistance charging mode, at the time of continuing charging of the battery, the control device being configured to initiate the constant-resistance charging mode based on a determination by the control device that a state of charge (SOC) of the battery or the voltage of the battery is at or above a predetermined threshold value, or based on an input from a user, and
• wherein the control device is configured to initiate a constant-power control charging mode in which charging power of the charging circuit is constant when charging the battery based on a determination by the control device that the SOC of the battery or the voltage of the battery is below the predetermined threshold value.
