1. An electric vehicle using an electric motor as a power source for traveling, the electric vehicle comprising:
an accelerator pedal;
a pseudo-clutch pedal;
a pseudo-shifter; and
a controller configured to control motor torque output by the electric motor,
wherein, the controller comprises:
a memory; and
a processor,
wherein, the memory configured to store an MT vehicle model simulating a torque characteristic of a driving wheel torque in an MT vehicle having an internal combustion engine which is controlled torque by operation of a gas pedal, and a manual transmission in which a gear stage is switched by operation of a clutch pedal and a shifter,
wherein, the processor is configured to execute:
a process of receiving an operation amount of the accelerator pedal as an input of an operation amount of the gas pedal with respect to the MT vehicle model,
a process of receiving an operation amount of the pseudo-clutch pedal as an input of an operation amount of the clutch pedal with respect to the MT vehicle model,
a process of receiving a shift position of the pseudo-shifter as an input of a shift position of the shifter with respect to the MT vehicle model,
a process of calculating the driving wheel torque determined by the operation amount of the accelerator pedal, the operation amount of the pseudo-clutch pedal, and the shift position of the pseudo-shifter, using the MT vehicle model, and
a process of calculating the motor torque for providing the driving wheel torque to driving wheels of the electric vehicle,
wherein, the electric vehicle comprises a shift reaction force generator that generates a shift reaction force against operation of the pseudo-shifter, by operation of a reaction force actuator, and
wherein, the controller is configured to control the shift reaction force output by the shift reaction force generator in response to the operation of the pseudo-shifter.
