Abstract

A hybrid vehicle has a rechargeable battery, an internal combustion, a generator, and a control unit that controls the driving of the hybrid vehicle. The control unit determines a utilization mode of regenerated energy in the hybrid vehicle, according to a charged ratio of the battery and a braking force of the hybrid vehicle, from a first mode in which the regenerated energy is charged in the battery, a second mode in which the regenerated energy is consumed to drive the generator with the internal combustion engine as a load, and a third mode in which a part of the regenerated energy is charged in the battery and the remainder is consumed to drive the generator.
