Abstract
A vehicle includes a vehicle drive power storage device including a power battery pack and a first capacity battery pack and a second capacity battery pack that has at least a smaller capacity than the first capacity battery pack and supplies electric power to the power battery pack. The power battery pack and the capacity battery packs are coupled in parallel. The capacity battery packs have a higher capacity and lower power than the power battery pack. The vehicle further includes a switch mechanism, a control device, and a load. The control device: preferentially supplies electric power from the power battery pack to the load when the vehicle accelerates; and, when a velocity of the vehicle is constant, supplies electric power from the second capacity battery pack to the power battery pack, concurrently with supplying electric power from the first capacity battery pack to the load.
