PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To expand an EV driving in a hybrid vehicle while considering a thermal load for electrical components.SOLUTION: An ECU comprises a drive mode control unit, a Wout control unit, and an engine start/stop determination unit. The drive mode control unit controls switching between drive modes, including a CD mode, which prioritizes driving using only a motor generator while shutting off an engine, and a CS mode, which maintains an SOC of a battery device at a prescribed target while operating the engine. The engine start/stop determination unit performs engine start determination on the basis of an allowable electrical discharge, which denotes electricity that the battery device can discharge. The Wout control unit changes the allowable electrical discharge on the basis of the drive mode and a state whether the engine is operating or stopped. |
