Abstract

The present invention relates to an air conditioning apparatus for an electric vehicle, which is capable of allowing a user to recognize that the air conditioning apparatus is forcibly controlled by an indoor air mode even if the user manually selects an outdoor air mode in the case of an eco-mode, thereby preventing the user from misapprehending and confused by the forcible control of the indoor air mode. According to the present invention for the above effect, an air conditioning apparatus for an electric vehicle, which is forcibly controlled by an indoor air mode while entering a forcible indoor air mode when predetermined specific conditions are satisfied in the case of an entry into an eco-mode, further has a control part which controls the air conditioning apparatus by an outdoor air mode while releasing the air conditioning apparatus from the forcible indoor air mode when a user manually operates an outdoor air mode switch for selecting an outdoor air mode and which forcibly controls the air conditioning apparatus again after delaying the air conditioning apparatus for a predetermined time when the air conditioning apparatus satisfies all of predetermined forcible indoor air mode entry conditions. In addition, when forcibly controlling the air conditioning apparatus by the indoor air mode again after delaying the air conditioning apparatus for the predetermined time, the control part allows the indicator of an indoor air mode switch for selecting the indoor air mode to flicker by the predetermined number of times.
