A charging port (110) includes an inlet (112), a charging-in-progress lamp (113), and a communication-in-progress lamp (114). The inlet (112) is configured to be connectable with a charging cable. During external charging by a charger, the charging-in-progress lamp (113) indicates that external charging is being performed. Specifically, while the charging-in-progress lamp (113) receives from a charging ECU a signal which indicates that external charging is being performed, the charging-in-progress lamp is lit. The communication-in-progress lamp (114) is provided adjacently to the charging-in-progress lamp (113) for indicating, while PLC-based communication by means of the charging cable is in progress, that PLC is being performed. Specifically, the communication-in-progress lamp (114) is lit while the communication-in-progress lamp (114) receives from the charging ECU a signal indicating that PLC is being performed.
