A control apparatus for an electric vehicle includes a first motor (traveling motor) for traveling, a battery (high-voltage battery), a second motor (generator motor) for electricity generation, an engine (rotary engine), a first controller (engine ECU), a second controller (motor ECU), and a sensor (voltage-current sensor). The second controller is configured to start the engine by causing the second motor to perform power running, cause the second motor to perform electricity generation driving such that the battery is charged, and adjust a stop position of the engine by causing the second motor to perform power running subsequently to a stop of the engine by the first controller in a case where a state of charge of the battery becomes high and the second motor finishes the electricity generation driving.

A revolution position of an engine is set to a revolution position suitable for a start. A control apparatus for an electric vehicle includes an engine, a motor which generates electricity, a battery, a first controller which drives the engine, a second controller which drives the motor, and a sensor. The second controller confirms a relative position relationship between a revolution position of the engine and a rotation position of the motor by acquiring information of the revolution position of the engine from the first controller during the electricity generation driving by the motor and monitors the revolution position of the engine based on the relative position relationship and a signal from the sensor, and the second controller checks the stop position of the engine through the monitoring of the revolution position of the engine when the motor finishes the electricity generation driving.
