Abstract

In an electronic control apparatus mountable on a vehicle including a motor generator and a battery rechargeable by regenerative action of the motor generator, a charge determinator determines whether the battery is unable to be charged, a rollback determinator determines whether a rollback of the vehicle occurs, an accelerator determinator determines whether an accelerator pedal of the vehicle is depressed based on an amount of depression of the accelerator pedal, a motor lock device locks the motor generator when the battery is unable to be charged, the rollback of the vehicle occurs, and the accelerator pedal is depressed, and a torque commander, when the lock of the motor generator is completed, commands the motor generator to generate a drive torque according to the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal while releasing the lock of the motor generator.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic control apparatus mountable on a vehicle, the vehicle including a motor generator connected to a drive wheel of the vehicle to drive the drive wheel and a battery configured to supply electric power to the motor generator, the battery capable of being charged by regenerative action of the motor generator, the electronic control apparatus configured to:
determine that the battery is unable to be charged;
determine that a rollback of the vehicl…
