Along with price, perhaps one of the biggest dissuaders for potential customers of new electric vehicles is range anxiety. It makes sense — electric vehicle range is getting better, but EVs still take ...
We’ve long-admired internal combustion engines for their power density pursuits. Extremely high horsepower-to-liter ratios for naturally aspirated cars like the Honda S2000, Ferrari 458 Speciale, or, ...
With the internal combustion engine (ICE) being a staple of multiple forms of transportation since the late 19th century, most people are at least somewhat familiar with how an engine works: fuel and ...
Electric motors usually comprise a stator and a rotor, with the latter rotating inside the former. Donut Lab thinks this design is outdated, and a hollowed-out rotor can offer important advantages.
Before we dive in any further, if you're not familiar with the different types of EV motors used in vehicles, we have a thorough E-Motor 101 course. Feel free to open that in another tab and use it as ...
Nearly half of the Toyotas that rolled out of U.S. showrooms last year carried some form of electric motor, a milestone that ...
PHENIX CITY, Ala. (WRBL) — Interest in electric vehicles continues to grow, but the allure and charm of classic cars remains. One Phenix City-based engineer is combining aspects of both, to get what ...
Compact axial-flux electric motors are poised to be the next big thing in EV propulsion. These devices are commonly called "pancake" motors because they are flat, thin, and circular, like a pancake or ...
BMW and DeepDrive are joining forces to test a “revolutionary” new electric motor that features dual rotor technology. The automaker says this paves the way for powerful and “super-efficient” EVs. The ...
A new chapter in electric motor design may be underway, and it’s being written in the UK. Yasa Motors, based in Britain and owned by Mercedes, has developed a new electric motor that sets a new ...
Webasto has been granted a patent for a method to control an electric motor in vehicle roofs. The method involves using a motor control signal with specific frequencies to actuate the motor, enabling ...
