Electric vehicle

An electric vehicle that includes an electric motor for transmitting torque to a wheel, and does not include an actual engine, a transmission connected to the actual engine, and a clutch mechanism connected to the actual engine, the electric vehicle comprising:

• a pseudo-shifter for selecting an arbitrary virtual gear stage mode among a plurality of virtual gear stage modes in which torque characteristics of the electric motor differ in stages with respect to a rotational speed of the electric motor;
• a pseudo-clutch operated by the driver when the pseudo-shifter is operated and configured to simulate an operation of the clutch mechanism;
• and
• a controller configured to control the electric vehicle,
• wherein the controller is configured to execute:
• a calculation process of calculating a virtual engine speed, which is a rotation speed of the virtual engine when a torque transmitted from the electric motor to the wheel is assumed to be the torque transmitted from the virtual engine to the wheel via the virtual clutch mechanism and the virtual transmission, based on the virtual gear stage mode selected by the pseudo-shifter and an operation amount of the pseudo-clutch, and
• a display process of displaying the virtual engine speed on a display.
