Control device for hybrid vehicle and control method for hybrid vehicle

A control device for a hybrid vehicle, wherein

• the hybrid vehicle comprises:
• an internal combustion engine;
• a battery storing electric power generated utilizing drive power of the internal combustion engine;
• and
• a rotating electric machine driven by supply of one or both of electric power generated using drive power of the internal combustion engine and electric power stored in the battery, and
• the control device comprises a processor being configured to:
• set a target state of charge of the battery;
• control the internal combustion engine and rotating electric machine and charging and discharging of the battery to make the hybrid vehicle run, so that a state of charge of the battery becomes the target state of charge;
• and,
• in a case where a point inside a restricted region where operation of the internal combustion engine is restricted is set as a destination or a waypoint, set the target state of charge to a lower value when an estimated time of arrival at the destination or the waypoint is a point of time outside a restricted time period when operation of the internal combustion engine is restricted in the restricted region than when the estimated time of arrival is a point of time inside the restricted time period.
