The control method for an electric vehicle sets a motor torque command value based on vehicle information and controls torque of a first motor connected to a first drive wheel which is one of a front drive wheel and a rear drive wheel. The control method for an electric vehicle calculates a first torque command value by a feedforward computation based on the motor torque command value, detects a rotation angular velocity of the first motor, and estimates a rotation angular velocity of the first motor based on the first torque command value by using a vehicle model Gp(s) that simulates a transfer characteristic from a torque input to the first drive wheel to a rotation angular velocity of the first motor.

A numerical controller, which is configured to correct a machine position error based on a torque difference between a master axis and a slave axis, acquires the torque difference after movement of the master and slave axes that move in response to a movement command, and corrects the machine position error by a correction amount based on a value obtained by excluding a torque difference derived from a mechanical strain from the acquired torque difference. The corrected machine position error is added to the movement command for next time.
