Hybrid vehicle
First Claim
1. A hybrid vehicle which includes a generator, an engine which drives the generator, a motor which drives the vehicle and a battery connected to the generator and motor, and performs EV running wherein the vehicle runs under the motor driven with electric power stored in the battery without operating the engine, and HEV running wherein the engine is operated and the vehicle runs under at least one of the engine and the motor, comprising:
- an external charge device which charges the battery using an external power supply, a map information device which includes map data and recognizes the present position of the vehicle on the map data, and a controller which functions to;
register a point at which the external power supply is installed in the map data in the map information device as a base point, register an EV running area centered on the base point in the map data in the map information device based on a charge value of the battery, and perform EV running when the vehicle is in the EV running area.
