Abstract
A hybrid vehicle includes an engine; a generator that generates a counter-electromotive force; a motor; a first inverter for the generator; a second inverter for the motor; a step-up converter that steps up an electric power of a first voltage system electric power line and supplies the electric power to a second voltage system electric power line; and a smoothing capacitor of the second voltage system electric power line. In a case where the hybrid vehicle travels by driving the engine in a state in which the stepping up by the step-up converter and an operation of the first inverter are stopped when an abnormality occurs in a voltage sensor, when an electronic control unit determines that there is an indication that the voltage of the capacitor will rise, the first inverter is controlled to cause three phases of the first inverter to be in an ON state.
