Abstract:
A control apparatus of an electric vehicle includes a monitor determiner. The monitor determiner monitors a state of a main battery that supplies electric power directed to running, and determines whether the electric power of the main battery is usable on the basis of first information and second information. The first information is a deciding factor directed to deciding whether the electric power of the main battery is usable. The second information is a determination factor directed to determining whether the electric power of the main battery is usable. The monitor determiner determines, upon start-up of the electric vehicle, whether the electric power of the main battery is usable on the basis of the second information before the first information is calculated, and decides whether the electric power of the main battery is usable on the basis of the first information when the first information is calculated.

Claim (Index 2):
The control apparatus of the electric vehicle according to  claim 1 , further comprising a switching controller,\n the electric vehicle includes:\n the main battery; \n an engine; \n a traction motor to be driven by the electric power of the main battery; \n a sub-battery configured to supply electric power to an electrical part other than the traction motor; \n an electric generator configured to generate, with power of the engine, electric power to charge the sub-battery; \n a main relay closable to make a current path between the main battery and the traction motor and openable to block the current path; and \n a DC/DC converter configured to, when the main relay is closed, convert the electric power of the main battery to charge the sub-battery, \n the switching controller is configured to switch an operation mode between an engine operation mode and an engine non-operation mode, the engine operation mode causing the engine to be driven, the engine non-operation mode allowing the electric vehicle to run by the traction motor without driving the engine, and the switching controller is configured to select the engine non-operation mode to close the main relay when the monitor determiner determines, upon the start-up of the electric vehicle, that the electric power of the main battery is usable, and selects the engine operation mode to start the engine when the monitor determiner determines, upon the start-up of the electric vehicle, that the electric power of the main battery is unusable.
