According to the present invention, the operating amount of the brake is detected, and the target value of the regenerative torque is set in accordance with the detected operating amount. In the meantime, the change in the detected operating amount along with time is detected, and the rise speed of the regenerative torque is set in accordance with the detected change along with time. The regenerative torque is controlled in accordance with the set target value of the regenerative torque and the set rise speed.

A remaining capacity meter is provided for an electric vehicle battery. This meter is suited for use in the detection of a remaining capacity of the electric vehicle battery. The meter includes a full charge detection device for detecting whether the battery has been brought into a fully-charged state, a remaining capacity setting device for setting, as a full-charge-time capacity, the remaining capacity of the battery at the time of detection of the fully-charged state by the full charge detection device, a discharge/charge-based correction device for correcting the remaining capacity, which has been set by the remaining capacity setting device, while integrating, with respect to time, a current discharged from or charged into the battery, and a deterioration-based correction device for correcting the fully-charged capacity, which has been set by the remaining capacity setting device, by a deterioration-based correction quantity corresponding to the number of chargings and battery temperatures at the time of the respective chargings. A method for the detection of the remaining capacity of such an electric vehicle battery is also described.
