Abstract

A vehicle is provided with an electrical motor for driving the vehicle using a battery as a power source. A braking device of the vehicle maximizes the generation of a regenerative braking force of an electrical motor in a range of electricity supplied to the battery, while satisfying the required braking force in response to an applied braking amount.
