Battery electric vehicle

A battery electric vehicle that includes an electric motor as a driving source, the battery electric vehicle comprising:

• a driving operation member that is used to drive the battery electric vehicle;
• a pseudo shifting operation member imitating an operation member that is used to perform a shifting operation of a manual transmission internal combustion engine vehicle;
• a processor that controls the battery electric vehicle according to operation of the driving operation member;
• and
• an in-vehicle battery that is charged with electrical energy generated when regenerative braking of the battery electric vehicle is applied, wherein
• the processor is configured to execute, according to selection by a driver, a control mode in which operation of the pseudo shifting operation member is associated with torque of the electric motor, and
• in the control mode, the processor is configured to
• determine virtual shift positions based on the operation of the pseudo shifting operation member,
• when the battery electric vehicle is traveling and there is no accelerator operation input, apply the regenerative braking with a strength according to the virtual shift positions, and
• notify the driver of the battery electric vehicle of a shift position according to a charge accepting capacity of the in-vehicle battery.
