The invention relates to a four-wheel drive electric vehicle with an electronic differential. The four-wheel drive electric vehicle comprises the electronic differential, four wheel independent drivemotors, four motor controllers and one accelerator pedal, wherein the electronic differential comprises a steering rod angle recognizer and a signal controller. The steering rod angle recognizer is connected with the signal controller. The accelerator pedal is in signal connection with the signal controller in two ways, the signal controller is connected with the four motor controllers in four ways, and the four motor controllers are respectively connected with the four independent drive motors. According to the four-wheel drive electric vehicle with the electronic differential, the functionsof a mechanical gear differential and a transmission shaft are replaced by the electronic differential and the four wheel independent drive motors. The structure of the whole vehicle is simplified, the energy loss and noise caused by the friction of a mechanical gear are reduced, the positioning and control of the four wheels are accurate, and the safety and stability of the vehicle passing on iceand snow and muddy road surfaces are enhanced. In the driving process, any switching in three modes of front drive, rear drive and four-wheel drive can be realized, and great driving fun is achieved.
