Control system for electric vehicle

A control system for an electric vehicle that controls a motor serving as a prime mover based on a target torque value set in accordance with a required drive force, comprising:

• a first sound source that emits an operating sound of the motor;
• a second sound source that emits a simulated operating sound created in accordance with a travelling condition of the electric vehicle;
• a controller that controls the electric vehicle;
• and
• a selector device that is operated manually by a driver to select an operating mode of the electric vehicle at least from
• a mode corresponding to a drive mode in which the electric vehicle is propelled forward by an output torque of the motor,
• a mode including a reverse mode in which the electric vehicle is reversed, a parking mode in which the electric vehicle is parked, and a neutral mode in which a torque transmission between the motor and a pair of drive wheels is interrupted, and
• a mode in which an automatic shifting operation of a conventional vehicle having an automatic transmission is executed virtually,
• wherein the controller is configured to
• create or emit the operating sound of the motor in a situation where the drive mode is selected, and maintain the creation or emission of the operating sound of the motor in a case that the operating mode is shifted from the drive mode to the reverse mode, the parking mode, or the neutral mode, and
• emit the simulated operating sound in a situation where the mode in which the automatic shifting operation is executed virtually is selected, and maintain the emission of the simulated operating sound in a case that the operating mode is shifted from the mode in which the automatic shifting operation is executed virtually to the reverse mode, the parking mode, or the neutral mode.
