                Abstract: 
                In this paper, a new SMC (sliding mode control) method for the slip suppression control of EVs (electric vehicles) is proposed. The proposed method aims to improve the maneuverability, the stability and the low energy consumption of EVs by controlling the wheel slip ratio. The proposed method is the extended SMC
method adding the integral term to improve the control performance. There also include numerical simulation results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.
