Control device for an electric vehicle is, as the running drive source functions also as together, to the traveling speed of such an electric vehicle according to an electric vehicle comprising a Eastern the friction that gives the friction braking force to the motor and a vehicle to give a regenerative braking force to the vehicle detecting a parameter that is proportional to the speed, and estimates a disturbance torque acting on the motor, with a decrease in the speed parameters, and controls such that the motor torque converges to the estimated value of the disturbance torque. And, if the speed parameters to approximately zero, with the electrical Sikkim converge to a value determined on the basis of the same amount of friction the friction of the portion in the estimated value of the disturbance torque, the motor torque converges to substantially zero.
