Abstract

A heating control device includes: a storage battery that supplies electric power to an electric motor of an electric vehicle; a heat generation portion that heats the storage battery using heat generated by current flowing; an estimation portion that estimates a change in effective capacity when the heat generation portion heats the storage battery to a target temperature using heat generated by current flowing due to electric power supplied from the storage battery based on an effective capacity corresponding to a temperature and a state of charge of the storage battery; and a controller that causes current flowing from the storage battery to the heat generation portion only in a case where the effective capacity estimated by the estimation portion is expected to be improved.
