Claim 0:
1. An electric vehicle comprising:
a motor
an electric power storage device configured to supply and receive electric power to and from the motor;
a shift position sensor configured to detect a current shift position among a plurality of shift positions, the shift positions including a plurality of traveling positions and at least one non-traveling position;
a notification unit configured to indicate information;
a controller configured to
control the motor such that, when an accelerator is off, a braking force acts on the electric vehicle, an amount of the braking force corresponding to the current shift position, and
cause the notification unit to indicate a notification that a maximum braking force is limited, in response to determining that a maximum braking force amount output from the motor is less than a largest braking force information corresponding to any shift position among the plurality of the shift positions; and

electric power equipment connected to a power line configured to connect the motor and the electric power storage device, wherein the controller is configured to set the maximum braking force amount without considering at least one of power consumption and loss of the electric power equipment, and wherein the electric power equipment is an air conditioner configured to condition air in a vehicle cabin.
