A vehicle, comprising: a power storage device; a power receiving unit for receiving electric power for charging said power storage device from an external power supply; an illumination unit for emitting light to said power receiving unit in response to a first switch attaining a conduction state, and for stopping the emission of said light in response to said first switch attaining a non-conduction state; a controller for controlling said first switch such that said first switch attains the non-conduction state in response to connection between said power supply and said power receiving unit; wherein said controller is further adapted to control said first switch such that said first switch attains the conduction state in response to release of the connection between said power supply and said power receiving unit; said vehicle further comprises: a lid for shielding said power receiving unit from outside of said vehicle in a closed position; a second switch which attains the conduction state when said lid is opened, and attains the non-conduction state when said lid is closed; a detector for detecting which of the conduction state and the non-conduction state said second switch is in; and a display unit for notifying a passenger of said vehicle about a state of said lid, the display unit is controlled by the controller such that when said detector detects that the second switch is in said conduction state, and said vehicle is in a movable state, said controller is adapted to cause said display unit to display that said lid is open, wherein said movable state is a state in which a shift position other than a parking position is selected; characterized in that said first switch, said second switch, and said illumination unit are connected in series. a power storage device; a power receiving unit for receiving electric power for charging said power storage device from an external power supply; an illumination unit for emitting light to said power receiving unit in response to a first switch attaining a conduction state, and for stopping the emission of said light in response to said first switch attaining a non-conduction state; a controller for controlling said first switch such that said first switch attains the non-conduction state in response to connection between said power supply and said power receiving unit; wherein said controller is further adapted to control said first switch such that said first switch attains the conduction state in response to release of the connection between said power supply and said power receiving unit; said vehicle further comprises: a lid for shielding said power receiving unit from outside of said vehicle in a closed position; a second switch which attains the conduction state when said lid is opened, and attains the non-conduction state when said lid is closed; a detector for detecting which of the conduction state and the non-conduction state said second switch is in; and a display unit for notifying a passenger of said vehicle about a state of said lid, a lid for shielding said power receiving unit from outside of said vehicle in a closed position; a second switch which attains the conduction state when said lid is opened, and attains the non-conduction state when said lid is closed; a detector for detecting which of the conduction state and the non-conduction state said second switch is in; and a display unit for notifying a passenger of said vehicle about a state of said lid, the display unit is controlled by the controller such that when said detector detects that the second switch is in said conduction state, and said vehicle is in a movable state, said controller is adapted to cause said display unit to display that said lid is open, wherein said movable state is a state in which a shift position other than a parking position is selected; characterized in that said first switch, said second switch, and said illumination unit are connected in series.
