A motor control apparatus calculates a current command value based on a torque command value and a rotational speed of the traction motor, and calculates a voltage command value based on a difference between a detected current of a traction motor and the current command value so as to reduce the difference to 0. In addition, the motor control apparatus calculates a preferable voltage range of the traction motor with reference to the torque command value and a motor speed, and performs a feedback control so that the voltage value supplied to the traction motor is within this preferable voltage range.
