Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/061811
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A vehicle (1) is equipped with a battery (10), an electric motor (20) configured so as to generate the driving force of the vehicle (1) by use of the electric power stored in the battery (10), a charger (44) configured so as to supply the electric power outputted from the power supply (60) outside of the vehicle (1)to the battery (10), and an ECU (48) configured so as to control the state of charge of the battery (10) when the battery (10) is charged. The ECU (48) calculates an index value indicating the state of charge of the battery (10), and sets the control range thereof. The ECU (48) raises the upper limit of the index value so that the possible travel distance of the vehicle becomes not less than the target distance when predetermined conditions on degradation of the battery (10) are satisfied.
