Vehicle power supply

摘要

A vehicle power supply for a hybrid-powered electric automobile is adapted to feed power to a motor-generator or regenerate power therefrom, and the motor-generator is caused to serve to produce vehicle-driving power. The vehicle power supply of the invention includes two power supplies having an electric storage device respectively. Discharge or regeneration is controlled so that one electric storage device is always maintained in a highly charged condition and the other electric storage device is always maintained nearly in an empty condition. Thus, a margin of regeneration is always kept, so that full use can be made of the regenerative brake whenever the use of the brake is required.
