ELECTRIC VEHICLE
The controller of the electric vehicle is configured to control the torque of the electric motor using the MT vehicle model based on the operation amount of the accelerator pedal, the operation amount of the pseudo-clutch pedal, and the shift position of the pseudo-shifter. The electric vehicle also includes a pedal reaction force generator that generates a pedal reaction force in response to the operation of the pseudo-clutch pedal using by the operating of the reaction force actuator. The controller is configured to store the pedal reaction force characteristic simulating the characteristic of the pedal reaction force according to the operation of the clutch pedal. Then, the controller is configured to control the pedal reaction force output by the pedal reaction force generator in response to the operation of the pseudo-clutch pedal using the stored pedal reaction force characteristic.
1 . An electric vehicle comprising:
an electric motor outputting torque to be transmitted to wheels;
a shifter for driver to select one mode from among a plurality of modes in which torque characteristics of the electric motor are defined in stages with respect to a rotational speed of the electric motor; and
a controller configured to arbitrarily set the torque characteristics by the driver.
2 . The electric vehicle according to claim 1 ,
wherein the torque characteristic has a plurality of preset patterns that assuming engine characteristics, and
wherein the controller is configured to set the torque characteristic of the preset pattern selected by the driver from the plurality of preset patterns.
3 . The electric vehicle according to claim 2 ,
wherein the electric motor and the wheels are configured to transmit power at all times, and
wherein the electric vehicle comprises a pseudo-clutch pedal to change torque output the electric motor to torque to the wheels.
