An embodiment oil temperature control system for an electric vehicle includes a heat exchange unit that performs heat exchange between an oil for cooling a driving motor and a coolant, a temperature sensor including an oil temperature sensor or an outside air temperature sensor, a controller that receives a signal from the temperature sensor to determine whether a heat generation mode entry condition to cause a power electronic part to generate heat is satisfied and operates the power electronic part in a heat generation mode when the heat generation mode entry condition is satisfied, and a cooling system that allows the coolant used to cool the power electronic part operating in the heat generation mode to circulate through a passage penetrating the heat exchange unit so that the coolant exchanges heat with the oil in the heat exchange unit.
