ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240246425 titled 'ELECTRIC VEHICLE

The abstract of the patent application describes a controller for an electric vehicle that controls the torque of the electric motor based on the operation of the accelerator pedal, pseudo-clutch pedal, and shift position of the pseudo-shifter. Additionally, the electric vehicle includes a pedal reaction force generator that responds to the operation of the pseudo-clutch pedal by generating a pedal reaction force.

• The controller stores the pedal reaction force characteristic simulating the characteristic of the pedal reaction force according to the operation of the clutch pedal.
• The controller then controls the pedal reaction force output by the pedal reaction force generator in response to the operation of the pseudo-clutch pedal using the stored pedal reaction force characteristic.
