PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect a current accurately by operating the offset value of a current sensor accurately under a traveling state thereby lessening the error caused by the offset value. SOLUTION: In the method for detecting the current of an electric automobile, the current of the main battery 1 in the electric automobile is detected by means of a current sensor 4. In the method for detecting the current, offset value of the current sensor 4 is detected when a current is not fed from the main battery 1 to a vehicle drive motor 11, the offset value is detected a plurality of times by detecting a state where no current is fed to the vehicle drive motor 11, and then the offset values detected by a plurality of times are averaged to operate an average offset value of the current sensor 4. Furthermore, the method for detecting the current corrects the current being detected subsequently by the current sensor 4 with the average offset value. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
