The electric vehicle is adapted to change the torque output by an electric motor to simulate the rotational speed-torque characteristic of a virtual rotating machine in response to driver operation. The electric vehicle comprises a display device and a control device. The control device displays on a display screen of the display device an indicator representing a virtual rotational speed of the virtual rotating machine. In a rotational speed range below the redline rotational speed of the virtual rotating machine, the control device continuously or discretely moves the indicator within a first display area of the display screen according to the magnitude of the virtual rotational speed. In a rotational speed range higher than the redline rotational speed, the control device moves the indicator to a second display area outside the first display area, and limits the movement of the indicator within the second display area.
An electric vehicle adapted to change a torque output by an electric motor to simulate a rotational speed-torque characteristic of a virtual rotating machine in response to an operation input by a driver, comprising:
