Abstract
A control system for an electric vehicle configured to allow a driver to grasp the situation of the electric vehicle when launching the electric vehicle by operating a brake pedal, and to reduce electric consumption of a motor. A controller controls the motor to generate a signal torque when a brake pedal depressed to generate brake force is returned so as to allow the driver to sense a change in a behavior of the vehicle, and terminate generation of the signal torque by the motor before the brake force is reduced to zero.
