1. A hybrid vehicle comprising:

  • an internal combustion engine that is coupled to a wheel via a power transmission system;

    a throttle that is provided on an intake passage of the internal combustion engine;

    an electric compressor that is provided on the intake passage upstream of the throttle;

    a bypass passage that bypasses the electric compressor;

    a bypass valve that is provided on the bypass passage;

    a generator that is coupled to the wheel via the power transmission system and is capable of inputting regenerative braking force obtained by electric power regeneration to the power transmission system;

    a battery that stores electric power regenerated by the generator; and

    a control apparatus that is configured to completely close the throttle, open the bypass valve and supply electric power to the electric compressor in a case where remaining battery power of the battery is larger than a reference level when regenerative braking is performed with the generator.
