To provide an on-vehicle non-contact charger and a vehicle, capable of appropriately coping with a positional deviation of a portable apparatus.SOLUTION: This non-contact charger comprises: a mounting unit on which a portable apparatus is mounted; a transfer unit for transferring power in a non-contact manner; and a position detection unit for detecting a position of a power reception unit of the portable apparatus mounted on the mounting unit. In addition, the non-contact charger and a vehicle comprises a control unit and a controller capable of changing over a charging mode. Switchable charging modes includes a normal mode (step S25) in which charging is enabled when the power reception unit is positioned in a standard region and an expansion mode (step S21, S22) in which charging is enabled even when the power reception unit is positioned in an expansion region. The expansion mode further includes a standard current mode (step S22) in which standard current is output to a power transmission unit and an enhanced current mode (step S21) in which enhanced current is output.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】携帯機器の位置ずれに適宜対処できる車載用の非接触充電装置及び車両を提供する。【解決手段】この非接触充電装置は、携帯機器が搭載される搭載部と、非接触に電力を伝送する伝送部と、搭載部に搭載された携帯機器の受電部の位置を検出する位置検出部を備える。さらに、非接触充電装置及び車両は、充電モードを切り替え可能な制御部及び制御装置を備える。切替可能な充電モードには、受電部が標準領域に位置する場合に充電可能とする通常モード（ステップＳ２５）と、受電部が拡大領域に位置する場合にも充電可能とする拡大モード（ステップＳ２１、Ｓ２２）とを含む。さらに、拡大モードには、送電部に標準の電流が出力される標準電流モード（ステップＳ２２）と、増強された電流が出力される増強電流モード（ステップＳ２１）とが含まれる。【選択図】図３
