Abstract
A hybrid vehicle includes an engine, a drive motor selectively operated as a generator to generate electrical energy; a battery charged with the electrical energy generated in the drive motor; a navigation device determining a travelling path of the hybrid vehicle from a departure of the hybrid vehicle to a destination of the hybrid vehicle and an expected vehicle speed of the travelling path; and a controller which divides an entire travelling path of the hybrid vehicle expected by the navigation device into one or more travelling sections based on the travelling information, determines an average vehicle speed of each travelling section, an average vehicle speed of the entire travelling path, and travelling energy of the vehicle in each travelling section, determines an expected State Of Charge (SOC) profile of the battery based on the travelling energy, and determines a charge mode of the battery based on the average vehicle speed and an initial SOC value of the expected SOC profile.
