Abstract
The present invention provides a charging device and a mechanical parking lot with which high safety can be achieved. The mechanical parking lot is provided with a movable pallet onto which a vehicle can be loaded, and comprises: a charging device which is provided on the pallet and which includes a connector to be connected to the vehicle to supply electricity to the vehicle and a cable of adjustable length that supplies electricity to the connector; and a control device including a vehicle information acquisition unit that acquires vehicle information about the vehicle, a length determination unit that determines, on the basis of the vehicle information, a first length which is a suitable length of the cable when the connector is connected to the vehicle, a connection determination unit that determines whether or not the connector is connected to the vehicle, and a length detection unit that detects the length of the cable. If the connector is connected to the vehicle and the cable is not of the first length, the control device causes the pallet to operate in a safe operation mode.
