CONTROL DEVICE OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE

摘要

A control device of an electric vehicle comprises: an operating state detection unit for detecting the operating state of an accelerator pedal; a motor control unit for executing deceleration control over a travel motor, including coasting control which reduces the driving force of the travel motor to zero, when the returning operation of the accelerator pedal is detected by the operating state detection unit; and a region setting unit for setting the range of the depression amount of the accelerator pedal for executing the coasting control, based on the depression amount of the accelerator pedal at the start of the returning operation of the accelerator pedal. The control device can switch among the types of control over the travel motor during the returning operation of the accelerator pedal, while suppressing a driver's sense of incongruity.
