Abstract
In a control device of an electric vehicle including a motor, driving wheels, a shifting device that is operated by a driver and selectively sets one of two shift positions of a traveling position that generates driving force by transmitting output torque of the motor to the driving wheels, and a non-traveling position that does not generate driving force without transmitting the output torque to the driving wheels, a controller causes the motor to output signal torque that enables the driver to sense a change in a vehicle behavior accompanied with switching of the shift position when the driver switches the shift position.
