ELECTRICAL POWERED VEHICLE
First Claim
1. An electrical powered vehicle capable of generating a vehicle driving force by an electric power, said electrical powered vehicle comprising:
- a secondary self-resonant coil installed at a predetermined position, and receiving electric power from a primary self-resonant coil provided at a power feeding apparatus external to the vehicle in a non-contact manner by resonating, via an electromagnetic field, with said primary self-resonant coil, andan electric apparatus including at least one of a power storage device capable of storing electric power received by said secondary self-resonant coil, an electric motor generating a vehicle driving force, a driving device driving said electric motor using the electric power received by said secondary self-resonant coil, and an electronic control unit controlling said driving device,said secondary self-resonant coil being an LC resonant coil having wire ends open,said secondary self-resonant coil being arranged such that both said wire ends are kept distant from said electric apparatus located closest to said secondary self-resonant coil.

Abstract
A secondary self-resonant coil is installed at substantially the central region of the bottom face of the vehicle body, receiving electric power from a power feeding apparatus in a non-contact manner by resonating with a primary self-resonant coil of a power feeding apparatus provided external to the vehicle, via an electromagnetic field. In a power reception mode from the power feeding apparatus, high voltage is generated at the wire end of the secondary self-resonant coil, causing generation of a high electric field around the wire end. In order to keep the wire end distant from an ECU that is an electric apparatus located closest to the secondary self-resonant coil, the secondary self-resonant coil is arranged such that the wire end is located at a side (−Y direction) opposite to the side (+Y direction) where the ECU is deviated relative to the bilateral symmetric axis of the vehicle body.
