Vehicle control device and program

A vehicle control device is applied to a vehicle (10) having a rotating electric machine (20) capable of transmitting power to drive wheels (11), an inverter (30) electrically connected to the rotating electric machine, and a brake device (60) for applying friction braking torque to the drive wheels. The vehicle control device controls a friction braking torque and a regenerative braking torque generated by regenerative power generation of a rotating electric machine so as to generate a requested braking torque to be applied to drive wheels. A vehicle control device includes: a temperature acquisition unit that acquires the temperature of at least one of an inverter and a rotating electrical machine; a determination unit that determines whether or not the temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit exceeds a temperature threshold value; and a change control unit that, when it is determined whether or not the temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit exceeds the temperature threshol
