An electric vehicle including a high-voltage power source at least including a first power source is provided. The electric vehicle further includes a low-voltage battery that is supplied with electric power from the high-voltage power source through a converter; an auxiliary vehicle controller for controlling a high-voltage contactor with electric power supplied from the high-voltage power source through the converter and/or with electric power supplied from the low-voltage; and an electric motor driving with electric power supplied from the high-voltage power source. The high-voltage contactor is connectedly provided between the high-voltage power source and the auxiliary vehicle controller, and the auxiliary vehicle controller controls the high-voltage contactor in such a manner that the electric power supply from the high-voltage power source is shut off if the electric power supply from the low-voltage battery to the auxiliary vehicle controller is cut off.
