Power and Efficiency Calculation

Hello everyone,
I have an EV model, and I would like to calculate its efficiency, i.e., inverter efficiency, motor efficiency and motor efficiency, and I would also like to draw its efficiency map. What approaches can I use to achieve the said objectives.
For now,
  1. I have connected a power sensor at the battery side, which provides a average power at 0.001 sec.
  2. A three-phase power sensor at inverter's output, which apparantly provides higher power than input.
  3. A rotational power sensor, which also provides averaged mechanical power at 0.001 sec.
Following are the challenges which I am facing.
  1. Higher inverter power.
  2. Negative power as well, depending on the drive cycle especially when torque is negative during deceleration.
I am attaching the EV model. Your guidance on this will be highly appreciated.

Does this demo work for you?
In the demo, stiffness(K) vs amplitude(yout) is studyed. And in your case, maybe you just need to change the study to torque-speed-efficiency
