An ECU executes a program including the steps of: determining whether an insulation resistance Ri is smaller than a threshold value Ri(0); if the insulation resistance Ri is smaller than the threshold value Ri(0), determining whether there is electric leakage between a vehicular body and an EHC and whether there is a possibility that there is electric leakage at a location other than a location between the vehicular body and the EHC; and if there is electric leakage between the vehicular body and the EHC, performing heating control.

A vehicle includes an engine, an electrically heated catalyst configured to purify exhaust gas of the engine, and a controller configured to control energizing power to the electrically heated catalyst. The controller is configured to determine the energizing power based on a vehicle speed of the vehicle and an acceleration of the vehicle, when energizing the electrically heated catalyst before the engine is started.

A hybrid vehicle (100) in which at least two shift ranges can be selected for a single running direction includes an engine (160), a motor generator (135), an EHC (180) raising the temperature of a catalyst for cleaning up an exhaust gas from the engine (160), and an ECU (300). While the vehicle (100) is running, if the engine (160) is stopped and, of the two shift ranges, a shift range where larger decelerating force is produced by regenerative braking of the motor generator (135) has been selected, the ECU (300) causes the EHC (180) to raise the temperature of the catalyst using electric power generated by the motor generator (135).

An EHC is configured to electrically heat a catalyst that purifies exhaust gas from an exhaust path of an internal combustion engine mounted on an electrically-powered vehicle, when a current passes through the EHC. A charger converts AC electric power supplied from an external power supply to a charging port into charging power of a power storage device by a power conversion path including an insulating transformer. The EHC is electrically connected to power lines which are provided on the primary side of the insulating transformer on the power conversion path, and to which a DC voltage is output. In a case where the EHC is operated when the vehicle travels, the charger converts the electric power from the power storage device into the DC voltage output to the power lines connected to the EHC, by a part of inverse conversion of power conversion at the time of external charging.

A catalytic converter has a catalyst support that is heated due to supply of electricity, and a pair of electrodes that are disposed so as to contact an outer periphery of the catalyst support as seen in an orthogonal cross-section that is orthogonal to a direction in which exhaust flows. By making a volume resistivity of the electrodes be higher than that of electricity supplying portions of external cables that are connected to the electrodes respectively and are for supplying current to the electrodes, heat generated at the electrodes is provided to the catalyst support, and a generated heat amount of the catalyst support in vicinities of the electrodes is made to be large as compared with a generated heat amount at an inner portion of the catalyst support.

Solving Means: A field coil current and a stator current are controlled by a controller. The stator current is controlled under vector control and is controlled so that the phase keeps an efficient motor zone. In a case of rated power generation, when the motor speed is low, the phase current and field coil current are increased to reserve the generated power. And, as the speed is increased, the phase current is decreased to reduce the copper loss, while in place of decreasing the phase current, the field coil current is kept high to reserve the generated power. Thereafter, as the speed is increased more, the field coil current is decreased to reduce the iron loss, while in place of decreasing the field coil current, the phase current is increased to reserve the generated power.
