Claim Text:
1. A stop lamp lighting control device for an electric vehicle having an electric regenerative braking system, comprising: a calculation unit that converts a previously-defined first deceleration threshold value for turning on a stop lamp or a previously-defined second deceleration threshold value for turning off the stop lamp to a first regenerative torque threshold value for turning-on the stop lamp or a second regenerative torque threshold value for turning-off the stop lamp at each vehicle speed by calculation assumed that a weight of the electric vehicle is a curb weight or a gross vehicle weight; and a determination unit that performs a comparison between a regenerative torque value generated by the electric regenerative braking system during a regenerative braking and the first regenerative torque threshold value or the second regenerative torque threshold value at each vehicle speed and turns on or turns off the stop lamp based on the comparison result.
