PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hybrid vehicle achieving better-mileage by optimizing the income/outgo efficiency of battery residual capacity.SOLUTION: In this hybrid vehicle, when respective control units 51-55 cooperate to detect an operation state of a direction indicator operation switch 55c, a motor generator 36 is performed with regenerative drive by part of driving force of an engine 20 to charge an on-board energy storage 57. Thereby, the on-board energy storage 57 can be charged with operation of the direction indicator operation switch 55c as a trigger. That is, based on estimation that the hybrid vehicle is accelerated after operating the direction indicator operation switch 55c, the on-board energy storage 57 is previously charged to prepare for the acceleration by the drive of the motor generator 36 after the operation of the direction indicator operation switch 55c. Accordingly, the income/outgo efficiency of the battery residual capacity (an SOC) is optimized to achieve the better-mileage hybrid vehicle. |
