Electric vehicle and method of controlling the same

摘要

An electric vehicle includes an electric storage device, an electric motor that generates driving force for running the vehicle, using electric power output from the storage device, and a controller that controls an output of the storage device. The controller includes a restriction control unit that restricts a permissible output power indicating electric power permitted to be output from the storage device, based on a load condition of the storage device, and an output control unit that reduces the rate of increase of the electric power output from the storage device as the permissible output power is more likely to be restricted when returning from a restricted condition in which the permissible output power is restricted by the restriction control unit.

1. An electric vehicle comprising:
an electric storage device; an electric motor that generates driving force for running the vehicle, using electric power output from the electric storage device; and a controller that controls an output of the electric storage device, the controller including:
a restriction control unit that restricts a permissible output power indicating electric power that is permitted to be output from the electric storage device, based on a load condition of the electric storage device, andan output control unit that reduces a rate of increase of the electric power output from the electric storage device after cancellation of a restricted condition in which the permissible output power is restricted by the restriction control unit, when the output control unit determines that the permissible output power is likely to be restricted again by the restriction control unit.
