However, if the distance between the charger and the coupler device cannot be shortened due to the layout of the factory, for example, the charging time is about several minutes. Attempting to perform quick charging, which completes the charging at a high current, causes a large current, which is affected by the voltage drop due to the resistance of the electric line, and cannot be ignored. Hereinafter, this will be described with reference to FIG.
