  • Publication number: 20210300326
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a control device for a hybrid vehicle, which can prevent overcharging the battery and effectively utilize the power generated by an electric motor operating as a generator to avoid useless wasted power. The hybrid vehicle includes an engine, an electric motor, a battery, an engine rotational speed sensor, a battery temperature sensor, and a fuel cutting part that stops the operation of the engine according to a specified operating condition. In the state where the operation of the engine is stopped by the fuel cutting part, the control device operates the electric motor as a generator when the rotational speed of the engine is equal to or below a specified value and the battery is chargeable in terms of temperature, and drives a heater with the power generated by the electric motor operating as a generator when the battery is unchargeable in terms of remaining capacity.
