The low-frequency torsional vibration caused by a sudden input torque change seriously affects electric vehicles' comfort and dynamic performance (EVs). This paper proposes a novel torque controller with robust global finite-time stability based on terminal sliding mode control to achieve the dual objectives of anti-jerk control and traction torque control. For this purpose, a general second-order system of EVs drivetrain with a disturbance term is established, and a new finite-time terminal sliding surface is designed. The proposed finite time torque controller (FT-TC) includes a finite-time sliding mode disturbance observer for real-time disturbance estimation and a finite-time sliding mode motor controller for calculating motor torque control law. In addition, the elimination of inherent chattering of the controller is considered in this paper. Finally, the proposed FT-TC is verified and compared with parallel double-loop PID controller and sliding mode controller on the Matlab/Simulink platform and an electric SUV platform under the condition of suddenly pressing/releasing the accelerator pedal during starting. The results indicate that the proposed FT-TC is effective and has a better synthetic evaluation performance in achieving the dual objectives.
