Abstract
A stop lamp lighting control device for an electric vehicle having an electric regenerative braking system includes a calculation unit that converts a first deceleration threshold value for turning on a stop lamp or a second deceleration threshold value for turning off the stop lamp to a first regenerative torque threshold value for turning-on the stop lamp or a second regenerative torque threshold value for turning-off the stop lamp by calculation assumed that a weight of the vehicle is a curb weight or a gross vehicle weight, and a determination unit that performs a comparison between a regenerative torque value generated by the electric regenerative braking system and the first regenerative torque threshold value or the second regenerative torque threshold value and controls the stop lamp to be turned on or turned off based on the comparison result.
