Patent attributes
In a hybrid vehicle including an engine; a first motor configured to generate reverse voltage by rotation; a planetary gear mechanism configured to have three rotational elements connected with a drive shaft coupled with an axle, the engine and the first motor; a second motor configured to input and output power from and to the driveshaft; first and second inverters configured to drive the first and second motors respectively; and an electric storage device, a first control controlling a rotational speed of the engine such that a first electric current to flow through the electric storage device is maximized in a state of gate interruption of the first and second inverters is executed at the time of an evacuation travelling being performed when an ON operation of an accelerator is performed during an inverter failure in which the first and second inverters cannot be normally actuated.
