Vehicle control apparatus and vehicle control method

A vehicle control method comprising:

• calculating a thermal load priority that prioritizes a thermal load of a motor for driving a vehicle according to an operating state of the vehicle;
• calculating a stability priority that prioritizes a stability of the vehicle according to an operating state of the vehicle;
• and
• controlling a driving force distribution in a front and a rear of the vehicle, on a basis of a result of comparing the thermal load priority and the stability priority.

A vehicle control apparatus comprising:

• circuitry configured to
• calculate a thermal load priority that prioritizes a thermal load of a motor for driving a vehicle according to an operating state of the vehicle,
• calculate a stability priority that prioritizes a stability of the vehicle according to an operating state of the vehicle, and
• control a driving force distribution in a front and a rear of the vehicle, on a basis of a result of comparing the thermal load priority and the stability priority.
