The invention provides an electric vehicle control device, and the device can maintain the characteristics of a forced discharging resistor through inhibiting the excessive heating of the forced discharging resistor along with the discharging of a capacitor during the collision of a vehicle. An electric vehicle comprises a motor generator (4), a third high voltage energy storage device (33), an inverter (50), an interrupt relay (58) which turns the third energy storage device into a connection state or an interruption state, (57) and a forcible discharging resistor (67) connected in parallel to a smoothing capacitor (55) at a pre-stage of the inverter, a high voltage disconnection state is formed to cut off the third energy storage device when a collision of the second energy storage device and a connection relay (68) is intermittently connected or disconnected from the forced discharge resistor for intermittent discharge when the electric energy stored in the smoothing capacitor is discharged.
