Abstract: A vehicle control device includes at least one ECU configured to: when charging the first battery from the power generation device is possible and a restriction on operation of the power generation device is predicted during traveling, control the power generation unit such that the first battery is charged from the power generation device and control the power generation unit such that the second battery is charged in a case where an SOC of the first battery is equal to or higher than a threshold; and when the charging is not possible, the SOC of the first battery is equal to or lower than a threshold and an SOC of the second battery is equal to or higher than a threshold and the restriction is predicted during traveling, control the power generation unit such that the first battery is charged from the second battery.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an electric power reception unit that is configured to receive electric power that is required to activate a system of the vehicle, from a portable device that is portable, the portable device including an electrical storage device provided therein, and the portable device being configured to carry out at least one of authentication of a user of the vehicle and issuance of a command to activate the system.

Abstract: There is provided a vehicle comprising a power storage device; a connecting portion configured to be connectable with an external power source; a converter configured to be connected with the connecting portion and with the power storage device; and a control device configured to control the converter. When the external power source is connected with the connecting portion, the control device performs charging control to control the converter, such that electric power from the external power source is subjected to voltage conversion and is then supplied to the power storage device. On completion of charging of the power storage device, the control device starts a system by using electric power from the power storage device after disconnection of the converter from the external power source.

Abstract: At a cold start of an engine, a hybrid vehicle is configured to perform first cranking control that controls a starter and an electric power transmission device, such that the engine is cranked by the starter using electric power from a first power storage device and a second power storage device, or to perform second cranking control that controls a motor generator and the electric power transmission device, such that the engine is cranked by the motor generator using the electric power from the first power storage device and the second power storage device.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a zeolite membrane composite satisfying both the treating amount and the separation performance at a practically sufficient level, which can be applied even in the presence of an organic material and can separate/concentrate an organic material-containing gas or liquid mixture and which is economic without requiring a high energy cost and is not limited in its application range; a production method thereof; and a separation or concentration method using the same. The present invention is an inorganic porous support-zeolite membrane composite, wherein the inorganic porous support contains a ceramic sintered body and the inorganic porous support-zeolite membrane composite has, as a zeolite membrane, a CHA-type zeolite crystal layer on the inorganic porous support surface.
