MOTOR VEHICLE

There is provided a motor vehicle including a lithium ion capacitor; an electrical load configured to transmit electric power to and from at least the lithium ion capacitor; and a control device. The control device is programmed to control the lithium ion capacitor such as to be charged and discharged according to a discharging excess pattern that provides a higher discharge current value than a charging current value, when a degree of degradation of the lithium ion capacitor reaches or exceeds a predetermined level by charging and discharging the lithium ion capacitor according to a charging excess pattern that provides a higher charging current value than a discharge current value.
