Abstract

A hybrid electric vehicle includes: a powertrain configured to execute hybrid traveling and power generation, and electric traveling, the hybrid traveling and the power generation being performed through cooperation of an internal combustion engine and one or more electric motors; a battery that transmits and receives electric power to and from the powertrain; and a control device. The control device executes management of a remaining battery level of the battery for securing a specific remaining battery level as traveling assistance, when a specific section in which operation of the internal combustion engine is restricted exists on a predicted travel route. The control device executes a selection process for selecting, based on presence or absence of an execution history of the traveling assistance and the remaining battery level, a traveling mode before entering the specific section from a BEV mode, an HEV mode, and a charging mode.
