Abstract

In a vehicle including a generator and a drive motor for traveling that operates with generated electric power of the generator, setting a control mode of a carrier frequency used for PWM control for adjusting the electric power of the generator to either of a basic mode or a diffusion mode; acquiring a noise recognition degree suggestion amount suggesting a vehicle situation correlated with a level of a recognition degree of a vehicle user with respect to noise generated by an operation of the generator; executing the diffusion mode in a case where the recognition degree is estimated to be high based on the noise recognition degree suggestion amount; and executing the basic mode in a case where the recognition degree is estimated to be low.
