    Abstract: An electric work vehicle includes a battery; a motor that generates motive power by receiving electric power from the battery; a traveling device operated by the motive power; a work power output portion that outputs the motive power to be supplied to a working device for performing work; a travel transmission system that transmits the motive power from the motor to the traveling device; a work transmission system that transmits the motive power from the motor to the work power output portion; a state detection unit that detects a state of work travel; and a transmission control unit that controls the transmission states of the travel transmission system and the work transmission system. In response to the state detection unit detecting that the work travel is in a predetermined low work travel state, the transmission control unit performs power conservation control for reducing the electric power consumed by the motor.
