Methods and apparatuses for controlling an electric vehicle

A controller for controlling an electric vehicle, the controller comprising:

• a memory to store instructions executable by a processor;
• and
• the processor in communication with the memory, the processor to:
• receive a regenerative braking activation indicator;
• if the regenerative braking activation indicator is affirmative, apply regenerative braking at an initial level to an electric motor of the electric vehicle;
• obtain a vehicle motion parameter of the electric vehicle measured when the regenerative braking is being applied;
• change the regenerative braking to a modified level in response to the vehicle motion parameter;
• obtain a corresponding vehicle motion parameter when the regenerative braking is being applied at the modified level;
• if the corresponding vehicle motion parameter is greater than a vehicle motion parameter threshold, change the regenerative braking to a further modified level;
• and
• if the corresponding vehicle motion parameter is equal to or less than the vehicle motion parameter threshold, change the regenerative braking to the initial level.
