PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent electrification or the like even if a relay or a device in a charge device is damaged by preventing a finger or the like from touching a charge electrode at an unused charging port.SOLUTION: A household charge port 102 includes a household charge electrode to be connected to a household charging connector that supplies alternating electric energy. A quick charge port 103 includes a quick charge electrode connected to a quick charge connector that supplies direct-current electric energy. When the household charge electrode is exposed to the household charge connector to be capable of being connected to each other, a cover 104 and an opening and closing prevention part 105 shields the quick charge electrode so as not to be exposed, and when the quick charge electrode is exposed to the quick charge connector to be capable of being connected to each other, the cover and the opening and closing prevention part shield the household charge electrode so as not to be exposed.
