HYBRID VEHICLE AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

When an ignition key is turned ON (YES in S 10), a control apparatus predicts the arrival time to a chargeable location (such as home) (S 110). When the control apparatus determines that the expected arrival time is in the nighttime (YES in S120), it sets SOC control upper and lower limit values for an EV traveling-importance mode that are lower than SOC control upper and lower limit values for an HV traveling-importance mode (S50), and controls an SOC of a battery (B) based on the upper and lower limit values (S60).
