Abstract
A control device for controlling an electric vehicle includes a driving source that rotates wheels, a braking device that applies braking force to the wheels, a creep torque control portion that controls magnitude of creep torque to be applied to the wheels, wherein the creep torque control portion includes a braking force detecting unit that detects the braking force applied by the braking device, a fundamental creep torque calculating unit that calculates fundamental creep torque corresponding to vehicle speed, a creep suppression torque calculating unit that calculates creep suppression torque smaller than the fundamental creep torque based on a result of the detection of the braking force detecting unit and a creep torque calculating unit that calculate the creep torque by subtracting the creep suppression torque from the fundamental creep torque.
