1. A control apparatus for causing a motor-generator of a vehicle to apply drive power to at least one wheel of the vehicle, and operate, at a stop of the vehicle, in a regenerative mode to apply braking force to the at least one wheel of the vehicle, the control apparatus comprising:
an offset torque calculator configured to calculate offset torque to be applied to the at least one wheel of the vehicle, the offset torque being required to stop the vehicle on a sloping road having a predetermined gradient; and
a motor controller configured to, in stopping of the vehicle on the sloping road having the predetermined gradient, cause output torque of the motor-generator to gradually approach the offset torque while maintaining a deceleration of the vehicle to be substantially constant.
