  • Publication number: 20220153253
    Abstract: A vehicle can take a hybrid driving mode in which the vehicle drives by power output by a first motor generator in response to power supply from at least a second motor generator, and an engine driving mode in which the vehicle drives by power output by at least an engine. When a high load section requiring an assist by the first motor generator is detected in the route on which the vehicle is driving in the engine driving mode, a control device of the vehicle predicts the remaining capacity of the battery in the high load section, and based on the remaining capacity, the control device can control the battery in the high load section before reaching the high load section, based on the remaining capacity of the battery in the high load section, and switch to the hybrid driving mode before reaching the high load section.
