METHOD FOR ALLOCATING POWER BETWEEN ELECTRIC MACHINES IN A POWERTRAIN OF AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE

A method for allocating power between electric machines in a powertrain of an electric vehicle is described. The electric vehicle includes a gearbox having an input shaft and an output shaft configured to transmit a first torque to the wheels of the vehicle, a first electric machine having an output shaft coupled to the input shaft of the gearbox, and a second electric machine configured to supply a second torque to wheels of the vehicle. The method comprises: prior to a gear change of the first electric machine, allocating power to the first and second electric machines according to a first power ratio; in response of an intended gear change of the first electric machine, allocating power to the first and second electric machines according to a second power ratio.
