ELECTRIC VEHICLE

DRIVE December 10, 2014
Source
An electric vehicle is provided which allows an output torque to be automatically adjusted during travelling even when there is a difference in output characteristic between two traction motor units (6, 6) that independently drive left and right drive wheels (2). The electric vehicle includes the motor units; a torque command unit (23) that outputs torque command values to the motor units; a torque difference occurrence determiner (31) that determines that a difference has occurred between actual driving forces TL, TR of the respective drive wheels (2) even when the torque command unit applies the same torque command values TL*, TR* to the motor units; and a driving force difference reducer (32) that, if the determiner determines that a driving force difference not less than a set value has occurred between the drive wheels, causes control of reducing the driving force difference to be performed during travelling.
