Original Abstract Submitted
a control device controls a vehicle including: a power train including a battery and an electric motor, and configured to perform regenerative traveling by using the electric motor as a generator during deceleration of the vehicle; and an auxiliary device operated by the electric power from the battery. the control device includes an electronic control unit configured to control regenerative power of the electric motor during the regenerative traveling. in a first traveling condition where a battery input limit as allowable maximum charging power of the battery becomes tight during the regenerative traveling, the electronic control unit is configured to: calculate an input limit for regeneration by adding a consumed power of the auxiliary device to the battery input limit being a negative value; and execute first regenerative power control for controlling the regenerative power so as not to exceed the input limit for regeneration.
