<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hybrid vehicle that properly maintains overall power balance of the vehicle by setting a predicted power consumption value of on-vehicle auxiliaries in accordance with a load state of an electric air conditioner. <P>SOLUTION: The hybrid vehicle 10 includes: a battery 16; an engine 12; a motor 24 generating power by receiving motive power to be supplied from the engine 12; a DC/DC converter 46 lowering high-voltage power of the battery 16 to a predetermined low voltage, and outputting it as drive power of the on-vehicle auxiliaries 48 including the electric air conditioner 49; and a controller 26 controlling operation of the engine 12 or the like. When the electric air conditioner operates in heating mode, the controller 26 switches from a first value P<SB>1</SB>that is a normal value of the drive power of the on-vehicle auxiliaries 48 to a second value P<SB>2</SB>obtained by adding the power consumption corresponding to the load state of the electric air conditioner to the first value P<SB>1</SB>. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
