Abstract: A vehicle has a motor that drives the vehicle, a battery that allows supplying an electric power to the motor, and a power conversion device disposed between the motor and the battery. An execution command of ripple charging and discharging that alternately charges and discharges multiple times with the battery is output to the power conversion device when a temperature of the battery is lower than a predetermined threshold temperature, and the flow rate of the heating medium is controlled such that the flow rate of the heating medium is reduced compared with a case where the temperature of the battery is lower than the temperature of the heating medium when the temperature of the battery is higher than the temperature of the heating medium that exchanges heat with the battery while the ripple charging and discharging is executed.

Abstract: A permanent magnet synchronous motor includes a stator, a rotor rotatable relative to the stator, and a magnetic structure with a low coercive force magnet and a high coercive force magnet that are arranged magnetically in series with respect to each other to define a pole-pair of the permanent magnet synchronous motor. A magnetization level of the low coercive force magnet is changeable by a stator current pulse such that a stator magnetomotive force at a rated current is equal to or larger than a product of a magnetic field strength for fully magnetizing the low coercive force magnet and a thickness of the low coercive force magnet.
