The present disclosure provides a method for torque management in a multi-motor electric vehicle. The method may include receiving a total torque request value from a vehicle control module (VCM), determining a first torque split value associated with a first motor and a second torque split value associated with a second motor, the sum of the first torque split value and the second torque split value being equal to the total torque request value, monitoring a thermal parameter of at least one of the first motor or the second motor, and adjusting the first torque split value and the second torque split value in response to the thermal parameter exceeding a threshold.
