    摘要: A driving control method of a hybrid vehicle is provided. The method includes when a specific zone related to discharge of exhaust gas is detected ahead on a path, determining whether a current state of charge (SoC) of a battery is greater than a first value. When the current SoC is greater than the first value, driving in a first mode for charging the battery in power of an engine in a first section disposed before entrance into the specific zone. Upon entering a second section corresponding to the specific zone, a current mode into a second mode for driving using power of a motor only is converted, battery consumption is reduced using at least one step along with a change in the current SoC in the second section.

    摘要: An ECU controls charging of a power storage device such that an SOC of the power storage device does not exceed a prescribed upper control limit. When an electrically powered vehicle moves in a downhill direction with an MG generating travel torque in an uphill direction on an uphill road (downhill-movement state), the ECU allows charging in which the SOC exceeds the upper control limit. Further, when a request to stop a system of the vehicle is made with the SOC exceeding the upper control limit, the ECU performs a discharge process of discharging the power storage device.
