An ECU performs a process including: when a vehicle establishes a Ready-On state, selecting a CD mode; when discharging power is uncompleted and a scheduled time to return the vehicle is a time within a discharging period, setting a second target SOC as a mode switching value; and when the vehicle's power storage device has an SOC reaching the mode switching value and a surcharge imposed on a rental fee is unaccepted, switching the current control mode from the CD mode to a CS mode.

Hybrid vehicle and method for controlling hybrid vehicle

There is provided a driving system configured to control an input current of a boost converter when temperature of a reactor becomes higher than a temperature reference value that is lower than a heatproof temperature of the reactor, compared with the input current when the temperature of the reactor is equal to or lower than the temperature reference value. A first temperature is set to the temperature reference value when ambient temperature is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature. A second temperature that is higher than the first temperature is set to the temperature reference value when the ambient temperature is lower than the predetermined temperature.

Boost converter controller

There is provided an electrical device's casing capable of reducing vibration generated by the electrical device while the device is operating. A converter case () encasing a reactor which generates vibration while operating includes: a plate-shaped base () having a front surface and a rear surface, the reactor being to be mounted on the front surface; a reactor case () erected from the front surface of the base () and surrounding an outer periphery of the reactor; a reinforcing portion () provided outside the reactor case () and configured to increase stiffness of the base (); and a rib () coupling the reactor case () and the reinforcing portion () to each other.
