Abstract
A battery electric vehicle includes an accelerator pedal, a shifter, a mode selector, and a control device. The mode selector selects either an EV mode or an MT mode as a control mode for an electric motor according to a mode selection operation by a driver. When the SOC of a battery is within a predetermined range, the control device controls the electric motor in the control mode selected by the mode selector. When the SOC is out of the predetermined range, the control device controls the electric motor in the EV mode regardless of the control mode selected by the mode selector.
