Electromobile

An electromobile comprising:

• a power source;
• a motor for converting motor current into an output torque for driving the electromobile;
• a shift switch for detecting a range selected by a driver and for outputting a torque cutting signal responsive to detection of selection of a predetermined range;
• a CPU for calculating an output torque command corresponding to vehicle speed and accelerator opening of the electromobile;
• a motor controller for outputting a signal for controlling said motor in response to the output torque command;
• an inverter circuit for receiving current from said power source and for converting the received current, in accordance with the signal of said motor controller, into the motor current fed to said motor;
• and
• torque cutting means connected between said shift switch and said inverter circuit for outputting a motor stopping signal directly to said inverter circuit in response to said torque cutting signal from said shift switch.
