CONTROL DEVICE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE

A control device for an electric vehicle includes a converter circuit 20 that converts a voltage input from an external power supply to a direct current having a predetermined value and outputs the direct current to a power storage unit 50, an inverter circuit 70 that receives an arbitrary power supply from the external power supply or the power storage unit 50 and converts power to an alternating current having a predetermined value, a converter control unit 30 that controls the converter circuit 20 based on a detection result of an abnormal state of the converter circuit 20 and generates a protection status signal based on the detection result, and a inverter control unit 80 that executes emergency control with respect to the inverter circuit 60, when the protection status signal is input, which indicates that the converter circuit 20 is in an abnormal state.
