Abstract
Battery electric vehicle includes a processing circuit and a storage device. The storage device stores a database that manages a plurality of vehicle models modeled on a plurality of virtual vehicles. The processing circuit reads the target vehicle model corresponding to the target virtual vehicle selected by the driver from the database. In addition, the processing circuitry sets a coefficient of 1 or less in accordance with the acceleration characteristic of the target virtual vehicle, multiplies the vehicle speed of battery electric vehicle by the inverse of the set coefficient, and calculates the adjusted vehicle speed. Further, the processing circuit calculates the virtual acceleration of the target virtual vehicle using the target vehicle model, and calculates the adjusted virtual acceleration by multiplying the virtual acceleration by the set coefficient. The processing circuit then controls the electric motor to adjust the acceleration of battery electric vehicle to the adjusted virtual acceleration.
