Abstract
A vehicle speed is lower than a first threshold, a control device controls both a first drive unit and a second drive unit to output a requested driving force by setting an operation mode of the first drive unit to a first mode when the requested driving force is smaller than a second threshold and the charge level of a power storage device is equal to or higher than a third threshold, and controls both the first drive unit and the second drive unit to output the requested driving force by setting the operation mode of the first drive unit to a second mode when the requested driving force is equal to or larger than the second threshold or the charge level of the power storage device is lower than the third threshold.
