Abstract
A control device controls a boost converter to be operated in one of a continuous voltage-boosting mode in which the converter is continuously operated and in an intermittent voltage-boosting mode in which the converter is intermittently operated. The control device permits the converter to be controlled in the intermittent voltage-boosting mode when an atmospheric pressure is equal to or greater than a first prescribed value, and inhibits the converter from being controlled in the intermittent voltage-boosting mode when the atmospheric pressure is less than the first prescribed value.
