Original Abstract Submitted
A battery electric vehicle includes a motor configured to output torque for driving to a drive shaft, a mode selector configured to select a driving mode from a plurality of driving modes based on driver's operation including a motor driving mode that the battery electric vehicle is driven by outputting a required torque required for driving from the motor and a gear shift driving mode that the battery electric vehicle is driven with behavior of torque output from the motor as behavior of the torque in an engine vehicle including an engine and a transmission based on the driver's shift operation, and a controller programmed to control the motor such that the battery electric vehicle drives in the driving mode selected by the mode selector. The controller is programmed to permit switching between the motor driving mode and the gear shift driving mode when a steering wheel is gripped.
