Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for operating an electric vehicle during conditions when output of an electric energy storage device is limited. In one example, torque commands of left and right electric machines are adjusted in equal amounts so that output of the electric energy storage device may be limited. The approach may be applied to electric machines on front and rear sides of an electric vehicle.
