Abstract
A battery electric vehicle includes: a mode selection device in which one travel mode is selected from a plurality of travel modes by an operation of a driver, the travel modes including a motor travel mode in which a motor is controlled such that required torque required for traveling is output to a drive shaft, and a shift travel mode in which the motor is controlled such that torque output to the drive shaft based on a shift operation by the driver is simulation torque that simulates torque behavior in an engine vehicle equipped with an engine and a stepped transmission; and a control device that controls the motor such that the battery electric vehicle travels in the travel mode selected by the mode selection device. The control device prohibits a change in the simulation torque while the battery electric vehicle is traveling, when the shift travel mode is selected.
