Electric automobile

An electric vehicle comprising:

• a motor unit configured to drive a wheel, the motor unit including motor coils;
• a control system that controls the motor unit, the control system including an inverter;
• a temperature sensor that is associated with the motor coils of the motor unit and is configured to sense temperature Tmc of the motor coils or a temperature sensor that is associated with the inverter and is configured to sense temperature Tic of the inverter;
• and
• a limiter configured to, if the temperature Tmc sensed by the temperature sensor is equal to or greater than a motor coils temperature threshold, reduce a motor current of the motor unit, or to, if the temperature Tic sensed by the temperature sensor is equal to or greater than an inverter temperature threshold, reduce a current command value to the inverter,
• the limiter being further configured to, upon detecting the sign that the temperature Tmc or Tic has started to drop, stop reducing a motor current of the motor or reducing the current command value to the inverter.
