A hybrid vehicle includes a multi-mode power system. The power system includes a battery, an electrical power input, a first motor/generator, a second motor/generator, and a clutch. A first operating mode is defined by deactivation of the internal combustion engine and the operation of the vehicle by electrical force provided from the battery to the second motor/generator. In a second operating mode, activation of the internal combustion engine generates electrical power by providing rotational force to the first motor/generator. In a third operating mode, engagement of the clutch couples the internal combustion engine and the second motor/generator to provide rotational force to the wheels. In a fourth operating mode, engagement of the clutch couples the internal combustion engine with the second motor/generator, and the first motor/generator further provides rotational force to the wheels.
