Original Abstract Submitted
An electric vehicle acceleration control system includes an electric motor configured to drive wheels of an electric vehicle, a steering wheel configured to steer the wheels of the electric vehicle, an acceleration paddle adjacent the steering wheel, and a vehicle control module configured to, in response to detecting activation of the acceleration paddle, set a target speed value, determine an average acceleration value to reach the target speed value, obtain a stored torque profile according to the target speed value and the average acceleration value, the stored torque profile including a specified torque value for each of multiple speed breakpoints, and control the electric motor by commanding the specified torque value at each of the multiple speed breakpoints.
