A power control apparatus for a hybrid vehicle (1), the hybrid vehicle
including an internal combustion engine (11), a front motor-generator
(12), and a transmission (13) which are connected to front wheels (Wf),
and a rear motor-generator (14) which is connected to rear wheels (Wr)
via a rear differential gear box (DR). A calculated value, which is
obtained by subtracting a front output power F_POWER and an accessory
output power DV_POWER from a battery output power limit B_LimPow is set
as an rear output power limit R_LimPow. The smaller of a rear drive
command R_PowCmd (which is set depending on the running state of the
vehicle) and a rear output power limit R_LimPow is set as a new rear
drive command R_PowCmd. Accordingly, a demanded motor output power can be
obtained without increasing the size of the main battery (15).
