Claim Text:
1. A vehicle comprising: an electric storage apparatus configured to output an electric power to be converted into a kinetic energy for use in running of the vehicle; an engine configured to generate a kinetic energy for use in running of the vehicle; a generator configured to receive an output from the engine to generate an electric power; and a controller configured to control charge and discharge of the electric storage apparatus, wherein, when performing a first charging process and a second charging process, the first charging process being a process in which the electric storage apparatus is charged using an electric power from an external power source and the second charging process being a process in which the electric storage apparatus is charged using the electric power output from the generator in response to a signal produced through operation by an user, the controller calculates a full charge capacity of the electric storage apparatus based on the following expression: where FCC represents the full charge capacity of the electric storage apparatus, ΣIB represents a current sum amount during the first or second charging process, SOC_s represents a start SOC of the electric storage apparatus at start of the first or second charging process and SOC_e represents an end SOC of the electric storage apparatus at end of the first or second charging process.
