A hybrid vehicle and a control method of the hybrid vehicle is provided, capable of suppressing discharge of the battery at the time of starting a DC/DC converter and suppressing temporal voltage drop of the battery. When the engine is in the idle state and the power generated by the motor is not sufficient, the motor controller starts the DC/DC converter at a low output voltage state, and the amount of power generated by the motor is gradually increased at a speed without disturbing the idle rotation of the engine, and when it is determined that the power generation by the motor is sufficiently high by comparing the amount of power generation with the amount of power consumption at the output of the DC/DC converter, the operation mode of the output variable DC/DC converter is switched from the low voltage mode to the high voltage mode.
A hybrid vehicle comprising an engine for driving the vehicle and a motor for assist driving the engine and for generating electric power, further comprises:
A hybrid vehicle comprising an engine for driving the vehicle and a motor for assist driving of the engine and for generating electric power, further comprises:
A method of controlling a hybrid vehicle comprising an engine for driving the vehicle, a motor for assist driving of the engine and for generating electric power, a battery, to be charged by electric power generated by said motor;
A method of controlling a hybrid vehicle comprising an engine for driving the vehicle, a motor for assist driving of the engine and for generating electric power, a battery to be charged by electric power generated by said motor;
