Hybrid vehicle
First Claim
1. A hybrid vehicle comprising:
- an internal combustion engine that is coupled to a wheel via a power transmission system;
a throttle that is provided on an intake passage of the internal combustion engine;
an electric compressor that is provided on the intake passage upstream of the throttle;
a bypass passage that bypasses the electric compressor;
a bypass valve that is provided on the bypass passage;
a generator that is coupled to the wheel via the power transmission system and is capable of inputting regenerative braking force obtained by electric power regeneration to the power transmission system;
a battery that stores electric power regenerated by the generator; and
a control apparatus that is configured to completely close the throttle, open the bypass valve and supply electric power to the electric compressor in a case where remaining battery power of the battery is larger than a reference level when regenerative braking is performed with the generator.

Abstract
The control apparatus closes the throttle, opens the bypass valve and supplies electric power to the electric compressor in a case where the remaining battery power of the battery is larger than the reference level when regenerative braking is performed with the first motor generator. The electric compressor is provided on the intake passage upstream of the throttle. The bypass valve is provided on the bypass passage that bypasses the electric compressor. According to the hybrid vehicle configured as above, regenerative braking force to be required can be obtained by performing electric power regeneration using the generator even when there is a constraint on regenerated electric power that the battery can accept.
