Abstract

For a hybrid vehicle including: an engine and a motor, each of which is mounted as a driving source; a generator driven by the engine; a high-voltage battery and a low-voltage battery, each of which can be charged and discharged; a converter connected between the high-voltage battery and the low-voltage battery; and an auxiliary load that consumes electric power supplied from the high-voltage battery via the converter or electric power supplied from the low-voltage battery, a control device includes a control unit that executes converter limit control that stops the converter or reduces output of the converter when a state of charge of the high-voltage battery is lower than or equal to a predetermined threshold.
