TORQUE CONTROL METHOD IN DRIVE SYSTEM OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE

A torque control method in a drive system of an electric vehicle includes determining, by a controller, a torque control mode corresponding to a current vehicle driving state among a plurality of preset torque control modes; and transitioning, by the controller, from a current torque control mode to the determined torque control mode, in which the transitioning to the determined torque control mode comprises performing, by the controller, limitation to a torque slope using a torque command at an immediately previous control cycle with respect to a front-wheel torque command that is a command for a front-wheel motor and a rear-wheel torque command that is a command for a rear-wheel motor, in a transient section where transition between torque control modes occurs.
