Vehicle control device and method for controlling the same

A vehicle control device for controlling a vehicle including:

• a continuously variable transmission disposed between a motor-generator and driving wheels;
• an oil pump configured to be driven by a transmission of a rotation of the motor-generator;
• and a hydraulic pressure supply controller configured to supply a hydraulic pressure to the continuously variable transmission, the hydraulic pressure being generated by regulating a pressure of an oil discharged from the oil pump, wherein
• when a regenerative braking is performed by the motor-generator based on a deceleration request from a driver, the hydraulic pressure supply controller supplies a hydraulic pressure based on a first hydraulic pressure and a second hydraulic pressure to the continuously variable transmission, the first hydraulic pressure being a hydraulic pressure to transmit an input torque input to the continuously variable transmission during the regenerative braking, the second hydraulic pressure being a hydraulic pressure to shift the continuously variable transmission during the regenerative braking, and
• during the regenerative braking, the first hydraulic pressure is set to equal to or less than a hydraulic pressure found by subtracting the second hydraulic pressure from a hydraulic pressure suppliable to the continuously variable transmission.
