An electric vehicle comprises a driving power device which drives a wheel and includes a heat generating component which includes a heat generating component and generates heat during an operation thereof; a mechanical pump which is mechanically driven by the driving motor and supplies a coolant in an amount proportional to a rotational speed of the driving motor to the heat generating component; an electric pump which supplies the coolant to the heat generating component; and an electric pump control section which controls an operation of the electric pump; wherein the electric pump control section causes the electric pump to be driven upon determining that a required cooling capability value is larger than a mechanical cooling capability value of the mechanical pump, and stops causing the electric pump to be driven when the required cooling capability value is smaller than the mechanical cooling capability value.
