Abstract
A control device for an electric vehicle equipped with a drive motor and a fuel cell includes a control output setter, a motor controller, and a fuel cell controller. The control output setter is configured to set a target value of an output of the drive motor based on a request command value. The motor controller is configured to control an output of the drive motor based on the target value using an electric power from a secondary battery as a power source. The fuel cell controller is configured to control the supply of a generated power by activating the fuel cell when the remaining capacity of the secondary battery decreases or an output of the secondary battery is insufficient. The control output setter decreases an allowable maximum value of the output of the drive motor when the remaining capacity can be decreased even after the fuel cell is activated.
