Abstract
An FCV includes an FC system and a battery. The FC system includes an FC stack and a boost converter that adjusts output from the FC stack. An FDC-ECU controls output from the FC system such that output from the battery does not exceed an output upper limit of the battery. The output upper limit of the battery is set to lower with lowering in SOC when the SOC becomes lower than a threshold value. A target SOC is higher than the threshold value.
