1. A vehicle receiving power from a ground power supplying apparatus by noncontact, the vehicle comprising:
a vehicle side first communication device for directly or indirectly communicating with the ground power supplying apparatus by utilizing wide area wireless communication;
a vehicle side second communication device for directly communicating with the ground power supplying apparatus by utilizing short range wireless communication; and
a control device for making the vehicle side first communication device transmit vehicle information tied with vehicle identification information to the ground power supplying apparatus and making the vehicle side second communication device transmit the vehicle identification information to the ground power supplying apparatus after the vehicle side first communication device transmits the vehicle information, when the vehicle receives power from the ground power supplying apparatus,
wherein when the vehicle side first communication device receives a notification showing that the ground power supplying apparatus will be actuated or is being actuated so that the ground power supplying apparatus can receive the vehicle identification information from the vehicle, the control device actuates the vehicle side second communication device so as to be able to transmit the vehicle identification information to the ground power supplying apparatus when the vehicle approaches the ground power supplying apparatus.
