Abstract

A method of cooling control for a drive motor of an electric vehicle is disclosed. The method includes controlling an output of a cooling apparatus for cooling the drive motor of the electric vehicle, using a navigation system to predict a deceleration followed by an acceleration in the driving speed of the electric vehicle, temporarily operating the cooling apparatus at a higher output to cool residual heat of the drive motor prior to beginning of the predicted deceleration, and temporarily operating the cooling apparatus at a higher output to cool the drive motor when the acceleration is predicted.
