Abstract:
The present invention contemplates a hybrid vehicle capable of changing an amount to be charged to an electric power storage device in accordance with whether it is externally charged. The hybrid vehicle includes a control device inquiring of an occupant of the vehicle whether the occupant has an intention to go to a charging location for example at home. If so, the control device sets a target value for the electric power storage device's amount of a state (SOC) to have a value smaller than when the occupant does not have an intention to go to the charging location. This allows as much energy as possible to be received at the charging location and a vehicle can thus be obtained that less depends on an internal combustion engine and contributes to environmental protection.
