Abstract:
A hybrid vehicle includes: an internal combustion engine; a first rotating electric machine generating electricity by a power of the internal combustion engine; an electric capacitor; a second rotating electric machine connected to a drive wheel and driven by power supply from at least one of the electric capacitor and the first rotating electric machine; a geographical information acquisition unit acquiring geographical information; and a control unit controlling a charging operation for charging the electric capacitor with power generated during a regenerative operation of the second rotating electric machine or an electricity waste operation for consuming the power by the hybrid vehicle. The control unit starts the electricity waste operation when the remaining capacity of the electric capacitor becomes equal to or greater than a threshold value during the regenerative operation of the second rotating electric machine and sets the threshold value based on the geographical information.
