Abstract

A method of controlling an electric motor includes pulsing the electric motor and phase shifting the modulation frequency. Pulsing the electric motor at the modulation frequency propels a vehicle to increase efficiency of the electric motor. Phase shifting the modulation frequency includes phase shifting between 0 degrees and 180 degrees to reduce vibrations induced in the vehicle.
