Vehicle
Vehicles include a battery, a MG, and an ECU. The battery stores electric power as an energy source of the vehicle. MG generates the driving force of the vehicles by consuming power. ECU controls MG. Battery power includes green power and non-green power, each classified according to the greenhouse gas emission intensity. The emission intensity of green power is smaller than that of non-green power. ECU controls MG so as to limit the driving force in a case where the amount of green power in the electric power of the battery is small than the driving force in a case where the amount of green power in the electric power of the battery is large.
1 . A vehicle comprising:
an energy source storage device that stores an energy source of the vehicle;
a drive device that generates a driving force of the vehicle by consuming the energy source; and
a control device that controls the drive device, wherein:
the energy source includes a first energy source that is a renewable energy source and a second energy source that is a non-renewable energy source, each of the first energy source and the second energy source being classified in accordance with an emission intensity of a greenhouse gas;
the emission intensity of the first energy source is smaller than the emission intensity of the second energy source; and
the control device controls the drive device such that the driving force when an amount of energy of the first energy source as a percentage of a total amount of energy of the energy source is smaller, is more limited when compared to the driving force when the amount of energy of the first energy source as a percentage of the total amount of energy of the energy source is larger;
