The invention discloses a torque control optimization method of an electric vehicle based on a driving mode, which is characterized in that the driving mode is firstly defined, and the method specifically comprises the following steps: 101, disassembling common driving working conditions including ejection starting, crawling, accelerator stepping acceleration, accelerator loosening sliding, brake stepping deceleration, cruise acceleration and deceleration and driving mode switching in each working condition; 102, splitting functions of the torque chain according to working conditions; 103, under different driving modes, involving the different driving modes in each torque chain link of torque chain function splitting, and optimizing torque control logic; and 104, calibrating and optimizing the parameters in all the control. According to the method, factors of influence of a driving mode on the torque chain are fully considered, and an integral framework intervening in the torque chain is designed; a sufficient conversion mechanism is achieved for the torque characteristics of the electric vehicle, the requirements of different drivers are met, and meanwhile, torque output is smoother and the driving feeling is better in combination with the driving working condition during different modes and mode switching.
