[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0005] Recently, much attention has been paid to electric motor vehicles (will hereinafter be referred to as “EVs”) that run on the drive force produced by an in-vehicle motor powered by an in-vehicle secondary battery, thus emitting no carbon dioxides, that is, achieving “zero emissions”. Further, hybrid electric motor vehicles (will hereinafter be referred to as “HEVs”) that run using, as drive force sources for propelling the vehicle, both an ...
