SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING LAUNCH CONTROL MODE ON BATTERY ELECTRIC VEHICLE

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18499361 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING LAUNCH CONTROL MODE ON BATTERY ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle system for a vehicle that implements a launch control mode to vehicle wheels for creating a launch control includes a motor, an instrument panel and a controller. The motor provides drive torque to at least one wheel of the vehicle wheels for propelling the vehicle. The instrument panel cluster is configured to display a user interface menu that includes a user selectable launch control mode. The controller initiates a launch control mode based on user selection of the launch control mode. The controller determines whether vehicle conditions are satisfied and receives a launch intensity selected at the user interface menu. The controller enables torque to be delivered from the motor to all drive wheels based on the launch intensity. Wheel speeds are monitored and wheel slip is determined. Torque is sent to select wheels based on the determined wheel slip.
