Abstract
Battery electric vehicle includes an accelerator pedal, a shifter, a mode selection device, and a control device. When the electric motor is controlled in EV mode, the control device changes the output of the electric motor in accordance with the operation of the accelerator pedal regardless of the operation position of the shifter, and when the electric motor is controlled in MT mode, the control device changes the output characteristic of the electric motor with respect to the operation of the accelerator pedal in accordance with the operation position of the shifter. When battery electric vehicle is activated, the mode selection device automatically selects a particular control mode, preferably an EV mode, between EV mode and MT mode.
