A power generation control device for an electric vehicle includes a power generator driven by an internal combustion engine, a drive battery that stores power generated by the power generator and sensing an SOC that is a state of charge, and a drive motor that propels a vehicle using power generated by the power generator or power stored in the drive battery. The power generation control device controls a power generation torque of the power generator to correspond to an output that is a sum of a drive request output calculated based on a manipulation separately from a drive torque of the drive motor and a battery request output calculated based on the SOC.
