Abstract
A control apparatus for a hybrid vehicle includes an engine and a motor as power sources of the hybrid vehicle, an energy storage device for storing electrical energy converted, by the motor, from the output power of the engine or the kinetic energy of the hybrid vehicle, and a control device which is adapted to obtain, at every stop of the hybrid vehicle, a first difference between the state of charge of the energy storage device at the immediately previous stop of the hybrid vehicle and the current state of charge, and to change an amount of power generation by the motor depending on the first difference when driving of the hybrid vehicle is not performed by the motor or when a regenerative deceleration operation is not performed by the motor.
