Abstract
An electric-powered vehicle is provided which is capable of charging a battery with stability, and which is capable of limiting the charging of the battery in the event of theft to provide a high degree of effectiveness of preventing theft by using a simple configuration. In the electric-powered vehicle, a vehicle storage section stores therein information, e.g. an ID list, about charging facilities permitted to charge a vehicle-mounted battery. When the electric-powered vehicle is connected to a charging facility, a charging facility ID acquisition section acquires the ID of the charging facility from the charging facility connected thereto. When it is judged that the ID of the charging facility acquired by the charging facility ID acquisition section is included in the ID list of charging facilities stored in the vehicle storage section, a charging request section makes a request to the charging facility for charging of the vehicle-mounted battery.
