Abstract

The electrified vehicle includes a first motor that drives a first wheel, a second motor that drives a second wheel different from the first wheel, a temperature sensor provided for the first motor, and a control device. The control device estimates the temperature of the first motor based on the detection signal from the temperature sensor, and corrects the temperature of the first motor based on information indicating a relative relation between operation of the first motor and operation of the second motor. These processes allow the control device to estimate the temperature of the second motor, control the operation of the first motor based on the estimated temperature of the first motor, and control the operation of the second motor based on the estimated temperature of the second motor.
