  • Publication number: 20250042259
    Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus includes a traveling motor and an accelerator operation part. The traveling motor is coupled to a wheel. The accelerator operation part is to be operated by a driver. The vehicle control apparatus includes a control system including a processor and a memory communicably coupled to each other. A control mode adapted to control the traveling motor includes a torque control mode of feedback-controlling a motor torque and a speed control mode of feedback-controlling a motor rotation speed. When a motor lock is detected, the control system detects an operation amount of the accelerator operation part and calculates a switching threshold by adding a predetermined amount to the operation amount. The control system switches the control mode to the speed control mode when: the accelerator operation part is further operated while the motor lock has continued; and the operation amount exceeds the switching threshold.
