A vehicle is configured to participate in demand response used for adjusting a power supply and demand balance in a power system. The vehicle includes a power accumulation device, a power transfer device that enables power transfer in one of a first, a second, and a third method, and a control device that controls the power transfer device. The first method enables power to be transferred through a power cable between the power accumulation device and an outside of the vehicle. The second method enables power to be transferred in a non-contact manner while the vehicle is stopped. The third method enables power to be transferred in the non-contact manner while the vehicle is traveling. When the vehicle participates in the demand response, the control device selects a method in a preferential order of the first, the second, and the third method and execute the power transfer.
