A vehicle provided (100) with a generator (32) generating electric power by motive power outputted from an internal combustion engine (20) includes an electric power storage device (10), an electric motor (31) driving a vehicle, a controller (51) executing charging control of the electric power storage device (10), and a weight estimator estimating a vehicle weight. While the vehicle (100) is driven by the electric motor (31), the controller (51) starts operation of the internal combustion engine (20) to start charging the electric power storage device (10) when a SOC of the electric power storage device (20) is reduced to a charging start SOC or less, and to stop the operation of the internal combustion engine (20) to stop charging the electric power when the SOC of the electric power storage device is at or greater than a charging stop SOC which is set based on the vehicle weight estimated by the weight estimator.
