Abstract

A hybrid vehicle may include an engine, a first rotating electric machine, an output shaft, a planetary gear mechanism, a second rotating electric machine, a battery, an inverter and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit may be programmed to perform inverterless traveling control. The inverterless traveling control may be control for causing the hybrid vehicle to travel by placing the inverter in a gate cut-off state, and driving the engine. The electronic control unit also may be programmed to interrupt current flowing between the first rotating electric machine and the battery when a shift range other than a forward range is selected, during the inverterless traveling control.
