1. A vehicle control device for controlling a vehicle configured to receive power by non-contact from a power transmission coil when passing over the power transmission coil, comprising: a processor configured to prohibit lane changing by the vehicle in a predetermined range up to an end point of a power supply area, where the power transmission coil is installed, when the vehicle is running in a lane of the power supply area,
wherein the lane changing by the vehicle is lane changing by manual driving of a driver of the vehicle and the processor is configured to prohibit the lane changing by obstructing operation of a steering wheel of the vehicle by the driver for the lane changing,
wherein the processor is configured to calculate a state of charge (SOC) of a battery of the vehicle,
and the processor is configured to prohibit the lane changing by the vehicle in the predetermined range when the SOC is less than a predetermined value and permit lane changing by the vehicle in the predetermined range when the SOC is equal to or greater than the predetermined value.
