Abstract

A vehicle regenerative braking apparatus of simple structure is provided, which prevents adverse effects on a battery while handling excess power appropriately. In a vehicle regenerative braking, when excess power which exceeds a preferable charge amount of a battery has been generated as a result of regeneration, the excess power is consumed by increased power consumption of a plurality of electrical loads selected from among several electrical loads.
