METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRIC VEHICLE

A method for controlling an electric vehicle including a plurality of driving wheels and a plurality of electric motors that generate driving forces respectively for the plurality of driving wheels, the method including: estimating a vehicle body speed for each of the driving wheels based on a rotation speed of each of the electric motors; estimating, for each of the driving wheels, a driving wheel disturbance torque, which is a disturbance torque acting on the driving wheel, based on the vehicle body speed estimated for each of the driving wheels; estimating a vehicle disturbance torque, which is an actual disturbance torque acting on the entire electric vehicle, based on the driving wheel disturbance torque estimated for each of the driving wheels; and controlling a torque to be output by each of the plurality of electric motors based on the vehicle disturbance torque.
