1. A control method for a vehicle, the vehicle including an engine, an electric generator, a drive motor, and a battery, the electric generator being driven by the engine to generate electric power, the drive motor being driven by the electric power generated by the electric generator, and regenerative electric power of the drive motor being supplied to the battery,
the vehicle having a first mode in which braking force compensation by a friction brake is executed during accelerator OFF regeneration which is regeneration by the drive motor in a state where no accelerator operation is executed, and a second mode in which the braking force compensation by the friction brake is not executed during the accelerator OFF regeneration, the method comprising:
executing limitation of electric power input to the battery; and allowing a voltage of the battery, in which the electric power input to the battery is zero due to the limitation of the electric power input, or a physical property value of the battery, affecting the voltage, to be different between the first mode and the second mode.
