The invention provides a torque monitoring system of an electric vehicle. The torque monitoring system comprises an information acquisition module, a simulation torque generation module, a judgment module and a fault diagnosis module. The information acquisition module is used for acquiring vehicle control signals, vehicle state signals and motor torque from a torque request system. The simulation torque generation module is used for generating simulation motor torque according to the vehicle control signals and the vehicle state signals. The judgment module is used for comparing the difference value between the motor torque and the simulation motor torque, determining abnormity of the torque request system when the difference value is larger than a predetermined threshold value, and generating a fault signal. The fault diagnosis module receives the fault signal, then determines the fault type of the torque request system according to the fault signal and adjusts the motor torque. According to the embodiment of the torque monitoring system of the electric vehicle, the motor torque which is possibly wrong due to calculation, affected by the hardware problem, the software problem, the electromagnetic interference, the human errors and the like of the torque request system, of a vehicle controller can be effectively detected and controlled, the torque of the vehicle is prevented from getting out of control, and the driving safety is effectively ensured.
