SERIES HYBRID VEHICLE

A series hybrid vehicle capable of acquiring the charged level of a battery even during running. The series hybrid vehicle of this teaching includes a controller that acquires the charged level of a battery during the operation of the power generation engine. The controller controls a power generation engine, a converter, and an inverter such that the electric current supplied to the inverter is increased or decreased based on an acceleration instruction or a deceleration instruction instructed by an operator of a series hybrid vehicle and received by a propulsion instruction part during a period when the charged level of the battery is being acquired. At this time, the controller performs control such that the electric current from the converter flows into the inverter without flowing into the battery.
