Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A motor generator and a power converter are driven by an engine, to supply electric power to a power storage device. ECU causes the engine to start if SOC of the power storage device falls below a first threshold value, and causes the engine to stop if SOC exceeds a second threshold value which is larger than the first threshold value. In the case where a running range has been selected when the vehicle stops, ECU causes the engine to stop if SOC exceeds a third threshold value which is larger than the first threshold value and smaller than the second threshold value. In the case where a non-running range has been selected, ECU causes the engine to stop if SOC exceeds the second threshold value.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A hybrid vehicle comprising: a power storage device; an internal combustion engine; at least one motor having an electric power generation function in which the motor is driven by said internal combustion engine to supply electric power to said power storage device and a function of producing running driving force; a control device configured to control start and stop of said internal combustion engine based on a start condition and a stop condit…
