Title:
HYBRID AUTOMOBILE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/026941
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
When an ignition key is turned on (YES in S10), a control device estimates the time of arrival at a chargeable waypoint (user’s home etc.)(S110). Then, when the control device determines that the estimated time of arrival is during the night (YES in S120), it sets SOC control upper/lower limit values for an EV-traveling priority mode, where the values are lower than SOC control upper/lower limit values for an HV-traveling priority mode (S50), and controls an SOC of a battery (B) based on the upper/lower limit values (S60).
