Torque Vectoring in EVs: The Next Evolution of Handling
Electric vehicles (EVs) are poised to take torque vectoring to a level that is mechanically impossible for most internal combustion engine cars. The key lies in their architecture: many high-performance EVs use separate electric motors to power each wheel, or at least each axle.
This setup, often called "eTorque Vectoring," allows for incredibly precise and instantaneous control. The vehicle's computer can independently vary the power output of each motor thousands of times per second. This can create dramatic yaw moments for razor-sharp cornering, or it can be used to subtly enhance stability at high speeds. Without the need for complex mechanical differentials and clutches, the system is more responsive, more efficient, and can be finely tuned via software.
FAQ
Q: What's the biggest advantage for EVs?A: Speed and precision. An electric motor's response time is nearly instantaneous compared to engaging a clutch or applying a brake. This allows for corrections…
