Vehicle control method and vehicle

Abstract

The embodiment of the application relates to the technical field of vehicles, in particular to a vehicle control method and a vehicle. The method comprises the following steps: in the case that the difference between the apparent state of charge and the real state of charge of a battery in a vehicle meets the starting condition, a starting request and a special mode instruction are synchronously issued to an engine controller, so that the engine is started and the low-power limitation of a catalytic converter light-off stage in a conventional cold start control logic is got rid of, and the engine directly operates at a target power generation, thereby a stable power generation compensation mechanism is established in the process of modifying the apparent state of charge to the real state of charge. The mechanism effectively solves the problems in the prior art. When a battery management system performs SOC rapid correction, sufficient electric energy output by the engine can be used to offset the reduction gap of the apparent value in real time, the situation that the apparent state of charge falls while the catalytic converter has not reached the light-off temperature is avoided, and the design goal of starting the engine in advance to buffer the sudden drop of electric quantity is ensured.
