ABSTRACT:
A vehicle, which is either an electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle, capable of achieving low-pollution emissions and saving energy by maximizing use of the capacity of the battery. A navigation ECU receives input identifying a starting location where the battery is charged, a stopover location, and a destination where battery recharging is planned, and calculates travel distances from the starting location to the stopover location and to the destination based on geographic data for the starting location, the stopover location and the destination, and schedules electric power consumption corresponding to distance travelled, based on the respective calculated distances, to assign a battery residual capacity usage value for each leg of the trip. A vehicle ECU supplies electric power from the battery to the motor in accordance with that schedule.
