Abstract
An object is to increase the possibility that an electric vehicle is able to reach an operating charging facility. There is provided an electric vehicle comprising: a motor for driving; a power storage device configured to transmit electric power to and from the motor; and a control device configured to control the motor and to set a first rate to a controlling lower limit rate of the power storage device. When it is expected that the electric vehicle is unable to reach an operating charging facility which is a charging facility in service, with keeping the controlling lower limit rate to the first rate, the control device changes the controlling lower limit rate to a second rate that is lower than the first rate.
