Method of controlling gear shifting in electric vehicle

A method of controlling gear shifting in an electric vehicle, the method comprising:

• determining, by a controller, whether an electric vehicle travels in an electric vehicle (EV) traveling mode;
• determining, by the controller, whether a kick-down gear shifting is required in the EV traveling mode;
• in response to determining that the kick-down gear shifting is required, determining, by the controller, whether an acceleration linearity control is possible;
• in response to determining that the acceleration linearity control is possible, performing, by the controller, correction of a torque of a motor;
• and
• performing, by the controller, a gear shifting in a transmission based on the corrected torque of the motor.
