Patent number: 5655990Abstract: A shift map used for controlling the shifting of a transmission in an electric vehicle based on the accelerator opening degree and the vehicle speed as parameters has a medium shift stage region in a higher shift stage region established in a medium vehicle speed operation region at a lower accelerator opening degree. When the vehicle travels down a downward slope at the lower accelerator opening degree while generating a regenerative braking force, the transmission is downshifted from a higher shift stage to a medium shift stage to increase the regenerative braking force, thereby providing an enhancement in braking feeling and an improvement in energy recovery efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 1995Date of Patent: August 12, 1997Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazuo Ooyama, Tomohiro Mihara
