Control apparatus for electric vehicle

A control apparatus for an electric vehicle that includes (i) front and rear wheels, (ii) an electric motor as a power source, (iii) a high-low switching device configured to establish one of a high gear position and a low gear position by operation of a dog clutch so as to change a speed of rotation outputted from the power source with one of two gear ratios which corresponds to the established one of the high gear position and the low gear position, (vi) a center differential configured to transmit the rotation outputted from the high-low switching device, to the front and rear wheels, while allowing differential rotation between the front and rear wheels, and (v) a high-low selection device configured to select one of the high gear position and the low gear position which is to be established in the high-low switching device,

• wherein the control apparatus includes a creep control portion configured to execute a creep control for controlling the electric motor such that a creep torque is generated during stop of the vehicle,
• wherein the creep control portion is configured to execute a creep cut for stopping the creep control under a predetermined constant condition, and
• wherein the creep control portion is configured, when the low gear position is selected by the high-low selection device during execution of the creep cut, to stop the execution of the creep cut.
