The vehicle speed is set as the intermittent operation prohibition vehicle speed 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, and the vehicle speed that is less than the vehicle speed is set as the intermittent operation prohibition vehicle speed after the accumulated charge amount condition is satisfied. Then, when the vehicle speed is less than the intermittent operation prohibition vehicle speed, 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, and the engine and the motor are controlled so that the hybrid vehicle is driven with the intermittent operation of the engine corresponding to the power demand after the accumulated charge amount condition is satisfied.
