METHOD TO CONTROL AN ELECTRIC ROAD VEHICLE

Method to control an electric road vehicle having the steps of: detecting a position of an accelerator pedal; detecting an activation of an upshift control and of a downshift control; establishing a plurality of virtual gears, each capable of being selected by acting upon the upshift control and upon the downshift control; determining the selected virtual gear depending on the actions exerted upon the upshift control and upon the downshift control; determining a torque objective to be applied to the drive wheels depending on the position of the accelerator pedal and depending on the selected virtual gear; and adding, at each change of the selected virtual gear, to the torque objective an additional torque profile which is impulsive and temporary and temporarily changes the development of the torque objective.
