VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE

During pre-air conditioning in a vehicle cabin, when consumed electric power exceeds use permission electric power while an auxiliary heating device is operating, an operation of the auxiliary heating device is stopped. In contrast, when the consumed electric power exceeds the use permission electric power while the auxiliary heating device is not operating, a rotation speed of an electric compressor of an air conditioner is restricted. Therefore, the temperature environment in the vehicle cabin is improved by continuing the pre-air conditioning of the air conditioner while reducing the consumed electric power by stopping the operation of the auxiliary heating device.
