To generate electricity without causing a sense of incongruity for a driver while securing traveling performance.

A power generation control device for an electric vehicle is provided with an electrical power generator 4 driven by an internal combustion engine 3, a drive battery 5 which is capable of charging up power that has been generated by the electrical power generator 4 and which can detect the SOC which is the state of power charge, and a drive motor 6 which is capable of propelling the vehicle using power generated by the electrical power generator 4 or power that has charged up in the drive battery 5, wherein the power generation control device controls the generated torque of the electrical power generator so as to correspond to the output, which is the sum of the drive-required output which has been calculated separately from the drive torque of the drive motor 6 on the basis of human operation, and the battery-required output calculated on the basis of the SOC.
