Abstract: There is provided a method for controlling an electric vehicle. The method includes receiving a regenerative braking activation indicator. If the regenerative braking activation indicator is affirmative, the method includes applying regenerative braking at an initial level to an electric motor of the electric vehicle. The method also includes obtaining a vehicle motion parameter of the electric vehicle measured when the regenerative braking is being applied. In addition, the method includes changing the regenerative braking to a modified level based on the vehicle motion parameter.

Abstract: There is provided a method of controlling an electric motor having a rotor and a stator. The method includes controlling the motor in a low-speed mode by injecting a high frequency (HF) signal into the motor. The HF signal may have an initial voltage and an initial frequency. The method may also include obtaining a speed of the rotor relative to the stator, and obtaining a reference input being sent to the motor. Moreover, the method may include comparing the speed and the reference input with a speed threshold and a reference input threshold respectively. In addition, the method may include reducing at least one of the initial voltage and the initial frequency if the speed is below the speed threshold and the reference input is below the reference input threshold, to reduce an acoustic noise caused by injecting the HF signal into the electric motor.
