Abstract
An electric powered vehicle according to the present invention comprises a battery, an electric power converting device, an electric motor, a drive wheel, a control part, an accelerator, a brake, and a rotation sensor. The control part detects the velocity using the rotation sensor. When a first velocity threshold is Vt1, and a second velocity threshold is Vt2, and when the thresholds are Vt1<Vt2, regenerative control is permitted in the case where a running velocity increases to or above the second velocity threshold, and the regenerative control is prohibited in the case where the running velocity falls below the first velocity threshold.
Claims4
An electric powered vehicle comprising:
- a wheel for running on a road;
- an electric motor for transmitting a driving power or braking power to the wheel;
- a control part for performing a drive control for transmitting the driving power to the wheel with the electric motor working as a power source and a regenerative control for transmitting the braking power to the wheel with the electric motor working as a load;
- and
- a velocity detecting part for detecting a running velocity,
- wherein when a first velocity threshold is Vt1, a second velocity threshold is Vt2, and a third velocity threshold is Vt3, and when the thresholds are Vt1<Vt2<Vt3, in the regenerative control, the control part permits the regenerative control in the case where the velocity increases to or above the second velocity threshold Vt2, and in the case where the velocity increases to or above the third velocity threshold Vt3, it keeps the permission of the regenerative control until the velocity thereafter falls below the first velocity threshold Vt1.
