Abstract
An electric vehicle includes an electric traction motor configured to selectively provide torque to vehicle wheels, a shifter configured to shift the electric vehicle, and a motor control system for electric traction motor quadrant protection in steady and transient shifter positions. The motor control system is in signal communication with the electric traction motor and the shifter, and includes a controller having one or more processors. The controller is programmed to monitor the shifter, detect a garage shift, and upon detecting the garage shift, filter the electric traction motor torque to zero to smoothly transition the electric traction motor during the garage shift and allow the garage shift to complete before an electric motor quadrant protection is initiated.
