Claim Text:
1. A variable control method of the amount of regenerative braking of a vehicle in which a plurality of regenerative braking torque maps divided for gears in a manual mode is set, the method comprising: sensing, by a controller, positive (+) and negative (−) shifting in the manual mode based on a signal from a shift-operating unit during regenerative braking with a drive (D) gear engaged while the vehicle travels; selecting, by the controller, a regenerative braking torque map that corresponds to a selected gear based on the signal from the shift-operating unit; and adjusting, by the controller, regenerative braking of a driving motor based on a torque value calculated from the selected regenerative braking torque map, wherein the shift-operating until is a paddle shift mounted on a steering wheel and the plurality of regenerative braking torque maps are subdivided based on a plurality of drive gears D0 to DN for the drive (D) gear being engaged by an operating of a shift lever and selected based on the signal generated by an operation of the paddle shift.
