Abstract
A driving force control device for an electric vehicle includes two motors for generating driving forces independently on left and right driving wheels corresponding to any one of a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels, a motor torque limit unit capable of limiting torques of the two motors, a driving force determination unit for determining which of the driving forces of the left and right driving wheels is larger, and a motor torque control unit for correcting, when the torque limit is imposed on one of the two motors corresponding to one of the left and right driving wheels larger in driving force during a turn of the electric vehicle, the torque of another of the two motors to increase so that a total driving force of the left and right driving wheels is maintained.
