A vehicle control device for controlling a vehicle that includes a rotating electrical machine and a gasoline engine and is configured to charge a battery that receives electric power from a power supply lane on a road and that outputs power of the rotating electrical machine, the vehicle control device comprising

• a processor configured to
• control travel of the vehicle along a route to a destination by selecting, based on an electric power price, a gasoline price, and total CO2 emissions discharged until the destination, either first travel using the rotating electrical machine and second travel using the gasoline engine, and
• select the second travel when the gasoline price is lower than the electric power price and a difference between the gasoline price and the electric power price is equal to or greater than a preset threshold value.
