Abstract
When parking is expected at a predetermined point, state of charge reduction control is performed in a current trip to control an engine and a motor such that the state of charge of a power storage device when parking is expected at the predetermined point is lower than the state of charge of the power storage device when parking is not expected at the predetermined point. State of charge recovery control is then performed in a next trip to control the engine and the motor such that the state of charge is recovered during operation of the engine. Even when parking is expected at the predetermined point, execution of the state of charge reduction control is restricted in the case where the temperature of the motor is higher than a predetermined temperature.
