Abstract: A vehicle includes: a traction motor; and a drive controller. The traction motor includes a rotational position sensor configured to detect a rotational position of a rotor magnetically. The drive controller controls a driving current output to the traction motor. The drive controller is able to switch a control mode of the driving current between a sensing control mode configured to control the driving current by using a detection result from the rotational position sensor and a sensing-less control mode configured to control the driving current without using a detection result from the rotational position sensor.

Abstract: A vehicle includes: a traction motor; a diagnostic module; a receiving coil; and a controller. The diagnostic module executes a diagnostic test of a rotational position sensor of the traction motor. The receiving coil receives a power wirelessly. The controller switches the diagnostic module to a state that is less likely to determine an error than normal when the receiving coil is positioned with respect to a supplying coil in a ground equipment.

Abstract: A non-contact power supply system has a conversion circuit that converts power of a power transmission-side power supply, and outputs power to a power transmission coil. A power transmission-side controller controls the conversion circuit. A power reception coil receives power from the power transmission coil in a non-contact manner. The power reception coil supplies power to a load electrically connected to the power reception coil. A smoothing circuit smooths power received by the power reception coil. A sensor detects current or voltage in the smoothing circuit. A power reception-side controller acquires an encoded value from a detection value of the sensor. The power transmission-side controller measures an elapsed time between a previous rise and a current rise in a detection voltage that is detected by the sensor, and compares the elapsed time and an elapsed time threshold that is set in advance to acquire the encoded value.
