Control device for electric vehicle

1. A control device for an electric vehicle including a traveling motor which is configured to transmit a driving force to driving wheels, the control device comprising:

a control unit having a suppression mode function for suppressing a traveling state amount of the vehicle when an abnormality occurs in an electrically driven system of the vehicle, wherein

the suppression mode function includes a first suppression state and a second suppression state, and a suppression degree in the second suppression state is smaller than a suppression degree in the first suppression state,

in accordance with a kind of the abnormality in the electrically driven system, the control unit is configured to cause the vehicle to be in the first suppression state or is configured to cause the vehicle to be in the first suppression state after causing the vehicle to be in the second suppression state, and

the control unit is configured to set the traveling state amount in the second suppression state in accordance with a difference between the traveling state amount in the first suppression state and a current traveling state amount of the vehicle, such that the traveling state amount in the second suppression state progressively increases as the difference increases and progressively decreases as the difference decreases.

2. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the control unit is configured to make the traveling state amount in the second suppression state closer to the traveling state amount in the first suppression state as the difference between the traveling state amount in the first suppression state and the current traveling state amount is smaller.

3. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the control unit is configured to cause the vehicle to be in the first suppression state when a time in which the control unit causes the vehicle to be in the second suppression state is equal to or longer than a predetermined time.

4. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the second suppression state includes a plurality of modes, which are different from each other in suppression time in accordance with kinds of the abnormality in the electrically driven system.

5. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the traveling state amount of the vehicle includes at least one of a traveling velocity of the vehicle and a torque of the vehicle.

6. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

when the kind of the abnormality is an abnormality in at least one of cooling systems for a battery and an electric system, the control unit is configured to cause the vehicle to be in the first suppression state, and

when the kind of the abnormality is not an abnormality in the at least one of cooling systems, the control unit is configured to cause the vehicle to be in the first suppression state after causing the vehicle to be in the second suppression state.

7. A control device for an electric vehicle including a traveling motor which is configured to transmit a driving force to driving wheels, the control device comprising:

a control unit having a suppression mode function for suppressing a traveling state amount of the vehicle when an abnormality occurs in an electrically driven system of the vehicle, wherein

the suppression mode function includes a first suppression state and a second suppression state, and a suppression degree in the second suppression state is smaller than a suppression degree in the first suppression state,

in accordance with a kind of the abnormality in the electrically driven system, the control unit is configured to cause the vehicle to be in the first suppression state or is configured to cause the vehicle to be in the first suppression state after causing the vehicle to be in the second suppression state,

the control unit is configured to set the traveling state amount in the second suppression state in accordance with a difference between the traveling state amount in the first suppression state and a current traveling state amount of the vehicle, and

the second suppression state includes a plurality of modes in accordance with kinds of the abnormality in the electrically driven system,

one of the plurality of modes, selected based on one kind of abnormality, is maintained for a first predetermined period of time,

another one of the plurality of modes, selected based on another kind of abnormality, is maintained for a second predetermined period of time shorter than the first predetermined period of time, and

the first suppression state is executed after the first or second predetermined period of time has elapsed.
