Abstract:
A charge control device for a hybrid vehicle includes a driving battery supplying electric power to front and rear motors. It can switch between a normal power generation mode in which an engine is driven at a first rotational speed higher than an idling speed to generate electric power and charge the driving battery to a predetermined amount of charge, and a forced power generation mode in which the engine is forcedly driven at the first rotational speed or higher to generate electric power and charge the battery so as to maintain a higher amount of charge of the driving battery than a predetermined amount of charge, and drives the engine at an idling speed or lower to reduce an amount of electric power generation if the cooling water of the engine is a first predetermined temperature or higher when the forced power generation mode is performed.
