Claim 0:
1. A controller that controls a vehicle including: a motor configured to drive the vehicle and perform a regeneration; and a transmission provided between the motor and a wheel of the vehicle and that connects and disconnects a transmission of a rotational force, the controller comprising:
a temperature sensor that detects a temperature of the motor;
a vehicle speed sensor that detects a speed of the vehicle; and
a transmission controller that switches between a connection and a disconnection in the transmission, based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor and the speed of the vehicle detected by the vehicle speed sensor,
wherein the transmission controller controls a switching of the transmission based on a first temperature and a second temperature, the first temperature being determined in accordance with the speed as the temperature at which the transmission is switched from the connection to the disconnection, and the second temperature being determined in accordance with the speed as the temperature at which the transmission is switched from the disconnection to the connection,
wherein the first temperature decreases as the speed of the vehicle increases, and
wherein the transmission controller is configured to:
switch the transmission from the connection to the disconnection based on the first temperature; and then
switch the transmission from the disconnection to the connection based on the second temperature.
