Abstract
A hybrid vehicle starts execution of temporary increase control that temporarily increases an allowable discharge power that is a maximum power dischargeable from a power storage device, on satisfaction of a predetermined start condition, and terminates execution of the temporary increase control on satisfaction of a predetermined termination condition. When a predetermined stop condition that is different from the predetermined termination condition is satisfied during execution of the temporary increase control, the hybrid vehicle terminates execution of the temporary increase control and prohibits subsequent execution of the temporary increase control until elapse of a first predetermined time. This configuration suppresses frequent repetition of a temporary increase of the allowable discharge power (output limit) of the power storage device such as a battery and its cancellation.
