Patent attributes
A dynamo-electric motor applies motive power to a drive wheel. A battery supplies electric power to the dynamo-electric motor with a driver for controlling the driving of the dynamo-electric motor. A battery control unit performs a control of charging and discharging of the battery. A speed meter displays predetermined information relating to a vehicle. In the electric vehicle including the elements described above, the battery control unit obtains the vehicle speed, the total travel distance, and the trip travel distance based on a vehicle speed pulse of the dynamo-electric motor detected by the driver, and displays information relating to the vehicle speed, the total travel distance, the trip travel distance and information relating to charging and discharging of the battery on a display unit using communication means.
