Abstract:
A vehicle comprises: a storage battery configured to store electric power; an internal combustion engine configured to be started with electric power supplied from the storage battery; an electric auxiliary configured to operate with the electric power supplied from the storage battery; and a stop start controller configured to perform a stop control of stopping the internal combustion engine according to a driving condition of the vehicle and a restart control of restarting the internal combustion engine that has been stopped by the stop control. The stop start controller includes: an auxiliary voltage acquirer configured to obtain a measured auxiliary voltage value that denotes a voltage of the electric auxiliary measured on occasion of start of the internal combustion engine; and a feasibility determiner configured to determine whether the stop control is feasible, based on the measured auxiliary voltage value.
