Brake system in electric vehicle

摘要

In an electric vehicle capable of being regeneratively braked, driven wheels connected to and driven by a motor are connected to and capable of being regeneratively braked by a brake control unit. When the regenerative braking of the driven wheels is being conducted by the brake control unit, the gear-shifting of an automatic transmission by a motor/AT control unit is prohibited. Thus, the need for continuance or control of the regenerative braking during gear-shifting is eliminated, thereby preventing a reduction in braking force during the gear-shifting and the generation of a shock.
