A drive control device for an electric vehicle keeps the rotation speed of an engine unchanged before and after shifting, and does not bring unpleasantness, uncoordinated feeling, etc. to the driver. It has: a differential device, the first rotation element of which is connected with the first motor, the second rotation element is connected with the second motor via the transmission shaft (15), and the third rotation element is connected with the engine (11); the transmission (18), It speeds up the rotation transmitted by the transmission shaft (15); the compensation torque calculation processing unit calculates the inertia compensation torque along with the speed change of the speed changer (18), and the inertia compensation torque is used to compensate the inertia caused by the inertia and the target torque correction processing unit, which corrects the target torque of the first motor according to the inertia compensation torque. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the rotational speed of the engine from changing due to inertia and control delay, and to prevent the inertia torque from being generated in the engine (11).
