REAL-TIME MASS ESTIMATION OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Connection and control concepts for real-time mass estimation of an electric vehicle are provided. The vehicle comprises a vehicle control module (VCM). Further, the vehicle comprises an inverter coupled to the VCM, and an electric motor coupled to the inverter. The electric motor is configured to measure the torque output from one or more wheels of the vehicle. The VCM is configured to receive the torque output measured by the electric motor and estimate mass of the vehicle based on the received torque output.
