A power-supplying coil and a wheel stopper are installed in a stop area, and distance data showing a distance in front-back direction between a power-receiving coil and a wheel of an electric vehicle is received by a receiver. Based on the distance data, as a controller controls a drive device, the wheel stopper or the power-supplying coil is moved and a distance in an approach direction between the power-supplying coil and the wheel stopper shown by distance data is made equal to the distance in the front-back direction. Accordingly, in a state in which the wheel of the electric vehicle which has entered the stop area touches the wheel stopper and stops, a position of the power-receiving coil coincides with a position of the power-supplying coil in the approach direction.
