When the shift lever is held at the N position for a predetermined holding period or longer during the regeneration control while the shift range is traveling in the D range, the electronic control device of the vehicle performs the braking cooperative control for gradually decreasing the regeneration torque and gradually increasing the wheel brake torque for a predetermined control period, and then switches the shift range to the N range.
