Original Abstract Submitted

A second ECU of the control device generates second vehicle position information based on the look-ahead information and the first vehicle position information sent at a predetermined timing, and generates a traveling plan such that electric traveling is performed in a specific section, based on the second vehicle position information and the look-ahead information. In determination about the entrance and the exit for the specific section based on the second vehicle position information and the look-ahead information, the second ECU provides a margin for at least one of a start point and a finish point of the specific section such that the margin corresponds to the at least one of the entrance and the exit for which the notification by the first notification function is performed.
