Hybrid Electric Vehicle

A hybrid electric vehicle of this disclosure includes an engine; a first motor; a planetary gear with three rotating elements connected to three axes of the first motor, the engine, and a drive shaft connected to an axle; a second motor connected to the drive shaft; first and second inverters driving the first and second motors; a power storage device connected to the first and second inverters via power lines; and a controller is programmed to controlling the engine and the first and second inverters. The controller is programmed to execute a predetermined control controlling the first inverter to output a torque from the first motor cancelling dragging torque of the first motor when the shift position is changed from a position different from neutral position to the neutral position and the engine is operating.
