  • Publication number: 20120239236
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electric car which has a battery pack at a constant state of maximum power discharge and to a method of efficiently controlling a motor with due consideration for rechargeable power levels. The control method according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: calculating estimated power levels required, based on current power consumption levels, for providing current from the battery pack to all parts of an electric car, and the required torque according to a driver's activation of the accelerator; comparing the estimated power levels required with the maximum possible power discharge from the battery pack; and enabling maximum possible torque from the motor when the estimated power levels required exceeds the current maximum possible power discharge from the battery pack.
