Abstract
A control device for a hybrid vehicle includes setting unit and supplied heat amount control unit. The setting unit sets the amount of heat for heating supplied by an electric heating system and a heater core such that a battery SOC and coolant temperature are arranged at a predetermined operating point after a predetermined time. The control unit controls this amount of heat based on the setting by the setting unit. The predetermined point is an operating point, which is the closest to a line passing through a predetermined value in a battery SOC target range and a predetermined value in a coolant temperature target range and having a preset change rate, and which is settable within the predetermined time. The change rate is the same as a gradient of an approximate line in case of selection of any one engine operating point on an optimum fuel economy line.
