An electric vehicle comprising: a plurality of motors to individually drive left and right wheels (2, 3) of the vehicle; an ECU that is an electric control unit to control the vehicle in general; an inverter unit provided for each motor, each inverter unit including a power circuitry including an inverter to convert a direct current power into an alternating current power and a motor control circuitry to control the power circuitry in accordance with a torque command sent from the ECU; and a motor abnormality detector provided in the motor control circuitry of each of the inverter units to detect an abnormality occurring in each of the motors; characterized by: an one side abnormality response controller provided in the motor control circuitry of each of the inverter units, which, in the event that an abnormality other than a motor stoppage, occurring in one motor of the motors for one wheel on one side of left and right wheels (2, 3), which are arranged at the same forward or rearward position of the vehicle, is detected by the motor abnormality detector, is configured to control the other motor for the other wheel on the other side of the wheels (2, 3), which are arranged at the same forward or rearward position, so that an operating condition of the other motor for the other wheels approaches the same operating condition as that of the one motor in which the abnormality has been detected; wherein the one side abnormality response controller performs a control responsive to the abnormality directly between the inverter units without relying on the ECU, and the motor control circuitry of the other inverter units has a function of performing a motor control in dependence on a command outputted by the one side abnormality response controller provided in the inverter unit of the one motor in which the abnormality has been detected. a plurality of motors to individually drive left and right wheels (2, 3) of the vehicle; an ECU that is an electric control unit to control the vehicle in general; an inverter unit provided for each motor, each inverter unit including a power circuitry including an inverter to convert a direct current power into an alternating current power and a motor control circuitry to control the power circuitry in accordance with a torque command sent from the ECU; and a motor abnormality detector provided in the motor control circuitry of each of the inverter units to detect an abnormality occurring in each of the motors; characterized by: an one side abnormality response controller provided in the motor control circuitry of each of the inverter units, which, in the event that an abnormality other than a motor stoppage, occurring in one motor of the motors for one wheel on one side of left and right wheels (2, 3), which are arranged at the same forward or rearward position of the vehicle, is detected by the motor abnormality detector, is configured to control the other motor for the other wheel on the other side of the wheels (2, 3), which are arranged at the same forward or rearward position, so that an operating condition of the other motor for the other wheels approaches the same operating condition as that of the one motor in which the abnormality has been detected; wherein the one side abnormality response controller performs a control responsive to the abnormality directly between the inverter units without relying on the ECU, and the motor control circuitry of the other inverter units has a function of performing a motor control in dependence on a command outputted by the one side abnormality response controller provided in the inverter unit of the one motor in which the abnormality has been detected.
