The electrification of automotive powertrains has accelerated research efforts in the modeling, control, and monitoring of electric drive systems, where reliability, safety, and efficiency are key enablers for mass adoption. Despite a large corpus of literature addressing individual aspects of electric drives, current surveys remain fragmented, typically focusing on either multiphysics modeling of machines and converters, or advanced control algorithms, or diagnostic and prognostic frameworks. This review provides a comprehensive perspective that systematically integrates these domains, establishing direct connections between high-fidelity models, control design, and monitoring architectures. Starting from the fundamental components of the automotive power drive system, the paper reviews state-of-the-art strategies for synchronous motor modeling, inverter and DC/DC converter design, and advanced control schemes, before presenting monitoring techniques that span model-based residual generation, AI-driven fault classification, and hybrid approaches. Particular emphasis is given to the interplay between functional safety (ISO 26262), computational feasibility on embedded platforms, and the need for explainable and certifiable monitoring frameworks. By aligning modeling, control, and monitoring perspectives within a unified narrative, this review identifies the methodological gaps that hinder cross-domain integration and outlines pathways toward digital-twin-enabled prognostics and health management of automotive electric drives.
