Claim Text:
1. A vehicle comprising: a power controller that includes a switching element and that outputs a voltage in accordance with an operation of said switching element; and a control device that causes the output voltage of said power controller to come close to a control target value by controlling the operation of said switching element in accordance with pulse width modulation control, wherein, in an overmodulation mode in which a modulation factor is higher than a predetermined value, said control device is configured to determine a point of time after a switching-off operation of said switching element at which said output voltage of said power controller is lower than said control target value, and to start a switching-on operation of said switching element at said point of time, so as to prevent the switching-on operation from starting when the output voltage of said power controller is greater than said control target value.
