HYBRID CAR, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME

The vehicle speed V1 is set as the intermittent operation prohibition vehicle speed Vpr before the accumulated charge amount condition where each accumulated charge amount of the master battery and the slave battery becomes each preset value is satisfied (step S130), and the vehicle speed V2 that is less than the vehicle speed V1 is set as the intermittent operation prohibition vehicle speed Vpr after the accumulated charge amount condition is satisfied (step S140). Then, when the vehicle speed V is less than the intermittent operation prohibition vehicle speed Vpr Step S150), the engine and the motor are controlled so that the hybrid vehicle is driven with the priority to the motor travel where the hybrid vehicle is driven with input and output power to and from the motor before accumulated charge amount condition is satisfied (S190 through S350), and the engine and the motor are controlled so that the hybrid vehicle is driven with the intermittent operation of the engine 22 corresponding to the power demand Pe* after the accumulated charge amount condition is satisfied (S210 through S350).
