CONTROL DEVICE FOR ELECTRIC-POWERED VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR ELECTRIC-POWERED VEHICLE

A control device for electric motor vehicle using an electric motor 4 as a traveling drive source and configured to decelerate by a regenerative braking force of the electric motor 4 calculates a first torque target value on the basis of vehicle information and calculates a second torque target value which converges to zero with a reduction in a speed parameter proportional to a traveling speed of the electric motor vehicle. If the vehicle is determined to have not reached a just-before-stop moment, the first torque target value is set as a motor torque command value. If the vehicle is determined to stop shortly, the second torque target value is set as the motor torque command value. The electric motor 4 is controlled on the basis of the set motor torque command value.
