Abstract

A hybrid vehicle includes an engine, a motor, a power storage device connected to the motor, and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit executes power storage capacity decreasing control in a current trip and executes power storage capacity recovering control in a next trip when parking at a predetermined point is predicted. The electronic control unit limits execution of the power storage capacity decreasing control in the current trip when heavy-load traveling with a load heavier than a predetermined load is predicted to be performed within a predetermined period after the start of the next trip when the next trip is started at a predetermined point.
