Battery electric vehicle and vehicle management system

A vehicle management system applied to a battery electric vehicle including an accelerator pedal, a sequential shifter, a speaker, and an electric motor used as a traction power unit, the vehicle management system comprising one or more processors configured to generate a pseudo engine sound and output the pseudo engine sound from the speaker, wherein:

• the speaker includes an in-vehicle speaker that outputs a sound to inside of the battery electric vehicle and an outside speaker that outputs a sound to outside of the battery electric vehicle;
• the battery electric vehicle is switched between a manual mode and an automatic mode, the manual mode being a mode in which an output of the electric motor with respect to an operation of the accelerator pedal is changed according to a shift operation of the sequential shifter, the automatic mode being a mode in which the output of the electric motor is changed according to the operation of the accelerator pedal;
• and
• the one or more processors are configured to
• when a vehicle speed of the battery electric vehicle is higher than a first speed, output the pseudo engine sound from the in-vehicle speaker, but not from the outside speaker,
• when the vehicle speed of the battery electric vehicle is equal to or lower than the first speed, output the pseudo engine sound from both the in-vehicle speaker and the outside speaker, and
• when the battery electric vehicle is in the automatic mode,
• stop outputting the pseudo engine sound from the in-vehicle speaker, and
• output a notification sound different from the pseudo engine sound from the outside speaker when the vehicle speed of the battery electric vehicle is equal to or lower than the first speed.
