Original Abstract Submitted

An electric work vehicle includes an electric motor capable of driving a body to travel, a battery to supply electric power to drive to the electric motor, the battery being chargeable by an external power supply device, a temperature detector to detect a temperature of the battery, and a controller configured or programmed to control operation of the electric motor and control a state of charging performed by the power supply device. In response to charging being performed by the power supply device, the controller is configured or programmed to set a target charging current in a state where work travel is possible after charging, based on a detected value of the temperature detector and a preset setting condition.
