A control system in an electric vehicle includes a power driver control device for controlling a driving system including the electric motor, a management control device for controlling a power distributing system including the battery, a brake control device for controlling a braking system including the brake device. These control devices are disposed in a distributed arrangement in the vehicle body. A power train collective-control device administers the controlling of a transmission system; collectively controls and monitors the power driver control device, the management control device, and the brake control device, and also backs up any of these control devices which is out of order, i.e., has developed trouble. Thus, it is possible to provide improvements in processing speed and reliability of the control system in the electric vehicle.
