Abstract

A vehicle control device and a method thereof are provided. The vehicle control device includes a processor, a sensor, a battery, and a memory. The processor: predicts a change in speed of a vehicle based on a route of the vehicle, using map information received from an external server, while driving the vehicle; divides the route of the vehicle into a plurality of partial routes, using the change in speed of the vehicle; obtains state of charge (SOC) information of the battery in each partial route of the plurality of partial routes, wherein the SOC information changes based on the change in speed of the vehicle; and obtains ratio information between a transit time when the vehicle passes through each partial route and a driving time of the vehicle based on a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) mode in each partial route, using the SOC information.
