Thanks to those who responded to my problem of my EV's dashboard brake
warning light coming on during acceleration.

Two suggested that there was inadequate brake fluid in the reservior.
Although I checked this out before, after taking a second look, I realized
that the reservoir is "tilted" toward the front of the vehicle and, while
the fluid was a bit low, upon acceleration or going uphill, the fluid was
flowing to the rear of the reservoir and away from the sender. Fixed now.
Glad it was something simple.
