Electrically powered vehicle and method of controlling electrically powered vehicle

An electrically powered vehicle comprising:

• a power storage device;
• a motor that generates traveling driving power using electric power output from said power storage device;
• a limitation control unit that limits allowable output power, which is electric power able to be output from said power storage device, based on a discharge load state of said power storage device;
• a notification unit that notifies a driver of a decrease of said traveling driving power by generating a warning when said allowable output power is limited by the limitation control unit to a value smaller than a threshold power value for notifying the driver;
• and
• a changing unit that increases, when the discharge load state of said power storage device is high, said threshold power value for notifying the driver to be larger than said threshold power value for notifying the driver when the discharge load state of said power storage device is low.
