The invention discloses a vector distribution control method for torque of a distributed-driven electric automobile. Through the relation between vehicle driving state stability and the expected yaw velocity under a vehicle dynamical model, an ideal motion state of a vehicle under generalized additional yawing moment is worked out, and control stability of a system is judged and analyzed through the expected yaw velocity so as to determine whether yawing moment control is required or not; a tyre longitudinal slip rate is set as a specific value in a stable state, and driving torque is precisely distributed under the condition that a coefficient of road adhesion is met.
