In a system for controlling electromotive force of a motor of an electric vehicle, an intelligent-power switch unit (IPS1) is connected to a power supply line (10) between a battery (4) and a motor controller (7) in parallel with a main relay (6) instead of a precharge circuits having mechanical relays and charge resistors. The intelligent-power switch unit (IPS1) mainly has an electric-power-supply control unit including a MOSFET (QA) serving as a semiconductor switching device, and is integrated in one chip structure. Accordingly, the cost and size can be reduced, and damage of the motor controller (7) caused from a rush current occurring when electric power has been supplied can effectively be prevented.
