Abstract
A control device for a hybrid vehicle, the hybrid vehicle including an internal combustion engine, an electric motor, and a battery, includes an electronic control unit configured to: i) set a target SOC which is a target value of an SOC of the battery when the hybrid vehicle arrives at a prescribed charging base; ii) when the hybrid vehicle is traveling outside the charging base, control output of the internal combustion engine and the electric motor such that the SOC at a time when the vehicle arrives at the charging base is the target SOC; and iii) estimate a charging possibility which is a possibility that the battery is charged with an external power source in the charging base when the hybrid vehicle arrives at the charging base, and set the target SOC lower when the estimated charging possibility is high than when the estimated charging possibility is low.
