Abstract
A vehicle includes: a traction motor; and a drive controller. The traction motor includes a rotational position sensor configured to detect a rotational position of a rotor magnetically. The drive controller controls a driving current output to the traction motor. The drive controller is able to switch a control mode of the driving current between a sensing control mode configured to control the driving current by using a detection result from the rotational position sensor and a sensing-less control mode configured to control the driving current without using a detection result from the rotational position sensor.
