A charge control apparatus of a hybrid vehicle is provided. The apparatus adjusts charge of a hybrid vehicle based on a vehicle running state when entering a charge mode. The charge control apparatus includes an engine clutch that is disposed between an engine and a first motor to selectively connect the engine and the first motor and a battery that provides a voltage to the first motor. A data detection unit detects driving data for charging the battery and a vehicle controller generates an average speed for a predetermined time using a vehicle speed of the driving data. In addition, the controller sets a charge mode based on the average speed and charges the battery using the charge mode.
