Abstract
Vehicles include a battery, a MG, and an ECU. The battery stores electric power as an energy source of the vehicle. MG generates the driving force of the vehicles by consuming power. ECU controls MG. Battery power includes green power and non-green power, each classified according to the greenhouse gas emission intensity. The emission intensity of green power is smaller than that of non-green power. ECU controls MG so as to limit the driving force in a case where the amount of green power in the electric power of the battery is small than the driving force in a case where the amount of green power in the electric power of the battery is large.
