Abstract

A vehicle control device operates an electric generator by an internal combustion engine and can intermittently drive an electric motor. The vehicle control device includes an electric storage unit and a control unit. The electric storage unit supplies electric power to the electric motor and can be charged by regenerative electric power from the electric generator. The control unit stops the intermittent driving mode provided that the vehicle speed is equal to or smaller than a predetermined speed and a status amount corresponding to an electric storage state of the electric storage unit is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value.
