Abstract
A vehicle has an engine, an electric generator, a drive motor, and a battery, the electric generator driven by the engine to generate electric power, the drive motor driven by the electric power, and regenerative electric power of the drive motor supplied to the battery. The vehicle has a first mode in which braking force compensation by a friction brake is executed during accelerator OFF regeneration which is regeneration by the drive motor where no accelerator operation is executed, and a second mode in which the braking force compensation by the friction brake is not executed during the accelerator OFF regeneration. The method includes executing limitation of input to the battery and allowing a voltage of the battery to be zero due to the limitation of input or a physical property value of the battery affecting the voltage to be different between the first mode and the second mode.
