Abstract
A control apparatus for an electrically-powered vehicle that includes an electrical motor, a motor control unit, and a traction control unit that controls a drive force so as to suppress spinning of driving wheels based on an operation request, includes: a driver requesting torque calculation unit that calculates a driver requesting torque; a traction requesting torque calculation unit that calculates a traction requesting torque; a torque command calculation unit that calculates a torque command based on the operation request, the driver requesting torque, and the traction requesting torque, during execution of the drive force control by the traction control unit; and a revolution rate sensor, wherein the torque command calculation unit is adapted to set the torque command to a value greater than zero regardless of the operation request when the revolution rate of the electrical motor is less than or equal to a predetermined value.
