PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power consumption rate calculating device for a vehicle that can learn power consumption so that it would not cause a driver to have a sense of discomfort when a driving range is calculated based on an amount of electricity stored in a battery for traveling.SOLUTION: When calculating a driving range by calculating a this-time learned power consumption ECby reflecting a zone power consumption for this time EC' on a previous-time learned power consumption EC, if the zone power consumption for this time EC' worsens relative to the previous-time learned power consumption EC, a deviation toward the side the this-time learned power consumption ECworsens is regulated by a power consumption learning rate α, and if the zone power consumption for this time EC' is better than the previous-time learned power consumption EC, a deviation toward the side the this-time learned power consumption ECis better is regulated by a power consumption learning rate β. By this method, a driver's sense of discomfort due to a large change in the driving range that is caused by a large change in this-time learned power consumption ECcan be prevented.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To more appropriately suppress vibration due to a driving wheel speed when lock suppression control of a brake device is executed.SOLUTION: When ABS control is executed by a brake ECU for preventing slippage due to wheel lock caused by braking operation during traveling (time t1), and a slip speed Vs obtained by subtracting a driving wheel speed Vd from a presumed vehicle body speed Vb reaches a torque output threshold or more (time t2), as torque for matching the driving wheel speed Vd to the presumed vehicle body speed Vb, basic torque is set so as to become larger as a maximum slip speed Vsmax which is a maximum value of the slip speed Vs after the ABS control is executed gets larger, and the torque corresponding to the basic torque is output from a motor (time t2 to t5). As a result, the torque based on the maximum slip speed Vsmax without vibration is output from the motor as compared to a case where the torque based on the slip speed Vs with vibration is output from the motor.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stop an internal combustion engine within a target stop range with higher accuracy.SOLUTION: When an engine operation is to be stopped during deceleration travel as a brake pedal is depressed, correction torque Tadj is set so that torque for reducing engine rotation speed is smaller as a brake pedal position BP (brake pedal force) from a brake pedal position sensor is larger (S130), and base torque Tbase is corrected with the correction torque Tadj to set a torque command Tm1*, thus drive-controlling a motor MG1 (S140, S150). Thereby, the engine can be stopped with stable brake torque regardless of a depressing state of the brake pedal, so that the engine can be accurately stopped at a crank angle within a target stop range suitable for next start-up.

When the sum of the first capacity S1 remaining in the first battery stack and the second capacity S2 remaining in the second battery stack is small, the smaller one of the capacities is selected as the priority remaining capacity SMAIN. According to the priority remaining capacity SMAIN, the first and second coefficients W1 and W2 are set. The second coefficient W2 is set to be smaller than the first coefficient W1. The product of the first coefficient W1 and the priority remaining capacity SMAIN is added to the product of the second coefficient W2 and the other remaining capacity, to calculate the capacity STOTAL remaining in the power storage system.
