Patent ID: 7651177

Claim:
A method for controlling regenerative braking of an electric vehicle, comprising: activating an anti-lock braking system in a regenerative braking mode of the electric vehicle; detecting slip amounts of left and right wheels to compare the same; and controlling to reduce a hydraulic braking torque or a regenerative braking torque in accordance with the difference between the slip amounts of left and right wheels, wherein, if the difference between the slip amounts of left and right wheels is more than a reference value, a control for reducing a hydraulic braking torque is first made by a hydraulic brake controller and then a control for reducing a regenerative braking torque is made for the reduced amount, and wherein, if the difference between the slip amounts of left and right wheels is less than a reference value, a control for reducing a regenerative braking torque is first made by a regenerative brake controller and then a control for reducing a hydraulic braking torque is made for the reduced amount.
