🚀 What Makes a Great EV Motor? A deep benchmarking study of 48 Motors from 31 EVs uncovers the engineering shifts. 🔍⚙️

🧠 The Main Objective of this research is to identify key design and manufacturing trends in electric vehicle motors.

The goal was to understand how EV motors have evolved in efficiency, structure, materials, and production processes.

This was done using macroscopic (system-level) and microscopic (component-level) analysis of 48 motors from 31 electric vehicles.

🔎 Macroscopic View – System Level Trends

🏗️ Integrated Designs Are Winning
Modern EVs now use integrated motor + gearbox + power electronics.
Nearly 50% of the analyzed motors use this setup.

 ✅ Fewer parts, more compact, reduced cost, and weight.
⚡ Power Density is the New Benchmark
Power Density = Power output (kW) / weight (kg)

PMSMs (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors) lead in performance.

But Induction Motors (IM) and Externally Excited Synchronous Machines (EESM) are catching up.

 📉 From 2018 to 2023, all topologies show higher power-per-kg trends.

🔬 Microscopic View – Component-Level Insights

🌀 Stator Design Matters

80%+ motors use press/shrink fit for stator-housing attachment.

Welded laminations are common but can cause eddy current losses.

Bonded and interlocked stacks are rising in use for better performance.

🔧 Winding Technologies

Flat wire tech = High fill factor, better cooling, more efficient.

Round wire = Easier to make, but heavier and bigger winding heads.

U-hairpin, I-pin, X-pin and Trim-cut pin designs optimize copper usage.

🧪 Why thinner wires and smaller windings?

High RPMs (now reaching 20,000+) increase eddy currents.

Smaller, segmented conductors reduce these losses.

Also improves copper efficiency — power per kg of copper has doubled.

📦 Material Efficiency is Key

Average stator weight reduced by 20–30% in five years.

Outer stator diameters getting smaller; inner diameters stable (for torque).

Copper usage is down, but performance per kg is way up.

🔚 Conclusion 

Electric motors in EVs are evolving fast and smart.

Modern designs focus on compactness, high power density, and efficient manufacturing.

PMSM motors still lead — but IM and EESM technologies are improving rapidly.

Copper usage is optimized.
Power output is maximized.
Manufacturing is more scalable.

This study sets a new benchmark for how to design, compare, and manufacture EV motors for the future.

🤔 Your thoughts?

 With 800V systems and high-speed drives becoming common, which motor type will dominate the next EV decade — PMSM, EESM, or IM?

I just discovered a motor with 98.2% efficiency.
 And the secret lies in 0.025 mm steel.

Horse Powertrain unveiled a new motor technology.
 It uses ultra-thin amorphous steel layers.

Amorphous steel lacks a crystal structure.
 So magnetic losses reduce significantly.

The stator is the motor’s stationary core.
 Magnetic fields rotate inside this structure.

Traditional steel sheets are much thicker.
 This design uses just 0.025 mm sheets.

Iron loss means wasted magnetic energy.
 Losses drop nearly fifty percent here. ⚡

Efficiency now reaches an impressive 98.2%.
 Peak output reaches 140 kW and 360 Nm.

Even hybrids gain around one percent efficiency.
 Small gains matter in powertrain engineering. 🔧

Would amorphous stators reshape future EV motor design?

From round wires to hairpins: Motors are evolving.
Why EV motors are shifting to hairpin windings. 
Let’s break it down.

As a motor designer, I often face design trade-offs. 

In one case, we needed higher torque.
 But the motor volume could not increase.

The stator slots were already full.
 Round wire windings limited copper utilization.

Increasing current created new problems.
 Copper losses increased very quickly.
 Thermal limits appeared in simulations.
 Efficiency targets became harder to achieve.

That is when hairpin windings became interesting.

Hairpin windings use rectangular copper conductors.
 Rectangular bars fill stator slots much better.
 This improves the slot fill factor significantly.

Hairpin windings can achieve slot fill factors above 70–75%, 
while round wires typically stay near 40–50%.

More copper inside the slot reduces resistance.
 Lower resistance improves motor efficiency.

But AC losses must be managed carefully

Several pin winding designs are used today. 👇 

🎯 U-Hairpin winding
Copper bars bend into a “U” shape.
 Both ends enter two stator slots.
 Ends are welded after insertion.

🎯 I-Pin winding
Straight rectangular copper pins are inserted.
 Ends are welded to create phase connections.

🎯 X-Pin winding
Pins cross each other forming “X” joints.
 This improves electrical routing between phases.

🎯 Trim-Cut pin winding
Long pins are inserted first.
 Extra copper length is later trimmed.

These designs optimize copper inside stator slots.

Performance gains 👍 
• Higher torque from better copper packing
 • Lower resistance improves efficiency
 • Better heat transfer through solid copper

But Hairpin windings require precise laser welding.

Look closely at the end winding region in the images.
 That is where laser welding connects the conductors.

 Weld quality directly affects electrical resistance.
 Poor welds increase heat generation.
 They also reduce long-term motor reliability. ⚡

Motor innovation does not always come from magnets or electronics.
 Sometimes it comes from how copper fits inside stator slots.
 Hairpin windings are a perfect example of this. ⚡

VinFast just made a strong safety statement.
 VF6 and VF7 secured 5-star BNCAP.

A vehicle crash can lead to fire.
 The mechanism depends on vehicle type.

Let us dive in 👇 

⛽In ICE vehicles, fuel may leak.  

 Fuel lines can rupture on impact.
 Leaked fuel can vaporize quickly.
 Vapors ignite with spark sources.
 Hot exhaust can trigger ignition.

🔋In EVs, risk pathway differs. 

 Battery pack may deform badly.
 Crushed cells create internal short circuits.

 Internal short connects positive and negative.
 This generates rapid heat rise.

Heat may trigger thermal runaway. 
 Thermal runaway means uncontrolled temperature increase.
 One hot cell spreads to others.
 Flammable gases may get released.
 If ignited, fire can start. 🔥 

High-voltage cables may get damaged.
 Damaged cables can cause electrical arcing.
 Arcing produces intense localized heat.
 Proper isolation reduces post-crash risk.

That's why Electric vehicle safety is critical.
BNCAP 5-star rating matters a lot.
 It validates performance through standard tests.
 It builds customer trust strongly.
 It pushes OEMs to improve.

 VF6 and VF7 scored 5-star BNCAP.

VF6 scored 27.13 in Adult Occupant Protection.
 It scored 44.41 in Child Occupant Protection.
 Chest protection was slightly weak.
Side barrier & Child Restraint System scored full points.
 ESC improves stability during skids.

True EV maturity shows in safety. 🛡️
 Performance alone is never enough. ⚙️

Are we focusing enough on post-crash high-voltage isolation performance?

Nobody explains this EV motor limitation.
Fixed rotor flux reduces high-speed efficiency.
4 new BYD patents attempt to solve this limitation.

Most EVs use Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM).
 These motors use permanent magnets inside the rotor. 🧲

The rotor creates magnetic flux.
 Flux means magnetic field strength.
 It controls torque and speed behavior.

But here is the limitation.
High magnetic flux gives strong torque.
 This is excellent at low speeds.

But high flux creates a problem. ⚠️

As speed increases, counter-EMF increases.
 Counter-EMF is voltage opposing supply voltage.
 This reduces efficiency at high RPM.

So engineers face a trade-off.

Strong low-speed torque.
 Or better high-speed efficiency.

Now comes an interesting idea.

"Variable-Flux PMSM (VF-PMSM)".

These motors allow adjustable rotor magnetic flux.
 Think of it like variable gearing for magnetic flux.

Flux increases at low speeds.
 Flux reduces at high speeds. ⚡

This balances torque and efficiency. ⚖️

Traditional PMSMs rely on field-weakening through current control.
 VF-PMSM instead physically adjusts rotor magnetic flux.
 This reduces the need for heavy d-axis current.

BYD published four patents exploring this idea.
These patents describe new flux control mechanisms.

One patent integrates magnetic flux adjusters.
 One uses movable magnetic components.
 One adjusts rotor flux along the axis.
 One varies the radial magnetic path.

All designs regulate internal rotor flux.
No bigger battery required. 🔋
 No magnet change required.

The result?
Lower counter-EMF at high speeds.
 Reduced motor losses.
 Wider efficiency operating range.
 Lower thermal stress inside motors. 🌡️

This could improve EV energy usage.

But variable-flux systems also introduce
mechanical complexity and control challenges.

And, commercial deployment remains unconfirmed.
Still, the engineering idea is powerful.

Will the next EV efficiency breakthrough come from batteries — or motors?
Will adjustable-flux PMSMs replace fixed-flux designs in EVs?

I recently learned about a new electrification trend.
Not in cars.
 Not in an aircraft.
But in high-speed racing boats that break world records. 🚤

Yes, the high-speed racing boats are going electric.
And racing in Formula-60 events.
That caught my attention.

Recently, I spoke with Stephane Collard,
Co-Owner at Protenergies,
a company working on electric boat conversions.

He shared some interesting insights.
I thought it is worth sharing.

This industry is quietly emerging.

Here is how their ecosystem works.

Mercury Racing provides the base platform.

Molabo provides the electric powertrain.

Team Tech-ouT designed the system.

Protenergies integrates and commercializes the solution.

Teams can buy upgrade kits.
Or complete electric engines.

🧲 Let us look at the motor.

The boat uses a 48V battery system.

The motor uses a PM-assisted synchronous reluctance design.

Motor rated power is 50 kW.
Peak power reaches 80 kW.

Maximum speed reaches 8500 rpm.
Drive efficiency reaches 95 percent.
Protection rating is IP67.

This architecture combines two advantages.
Magnet torque benefits.
And reluctance motor efficiency.

The result is strong torque density.
And high efficiency operation.

The motor also uses intelligent stator cage technology.
Simple cage structures are integrated.

Power electronics integrate inside the motor housing.
Controller and motor become one unit.

This reduces wiring complexity.
It also improves system reliability.

High currents distribute in parallel paths.
Battery and motor communicate efficiently.
Acceleration becomes powerful yet silent. 🚤

🔋 Now the battery system.

Eight swappable LiPo battery modules are used.

Total gross capacity equals 12.7 kWh.
Battery packs are lightweight.
And sealed in IP67 casing.

Charging time is about three hours.
The modular design enables quick swaps.

Now the Power boat performance 🚤 

Mael Touchet currently holds the speed record of 91.58 km/h.
This electric conversion achieved that speed.
With help of Molabo and Kaiser and Mercury Racing⚡

Protenergies is also looking for opportunities in India.
Seeks local development partners and sponsors.
For a new world speed record above 100 km/h in 2026.

Powertrain expertise will be provided.
Event organization support is also possible.🌍

If interested, please connect directly with them. 
This could become a new motorsport category in India. 
And a new electrification industry.

Would an electric powerboat championship work- 
In India, if the ecosystem develops?

I never expected 810 km in this segment. 
Volvo EX60 claims it with 117 kWh and 680 hp.
Is this practical efficiency, or headline range?

It sits on the SPA3 platform.
SPA3 is Volvo’s EV architecture.
SPA3 means Scalable Product Architecture 3.

Supports sedans and SUVs.
It runs on an 800-volt system.
800-volt system enables faster DC charging. ⚡

SPA3 debuted with the EX60.

Three battery packs are offered.
83 kWh gives 620 km.
95 kWh gives 660 km.
117 kWh targets 810 km. 🔋

Base motor makes 374 hp.
Rear-mounted for RWD layout.
RWD means rear wheel drive.

Top variant gets dual motors.
Total output reaches 680 hp.
One motor per axle.

That enables AWD capability. 🚗
AWD improves traction and stability.

But adds cost and complexity.
As someone working on motors,

I keep thinking about system balance.

Between 83, 95, and 117 kWh, which pack truly balances cost, weight, and usable range? 🤔

We know that conventional motors use stator-induced magnetic fields and rotor induction to generate torque, but they suffer from losses due to resistance, eddy currents, and heat.

Now, this new-generation motor introduces a fundamentally different but interesting concept. 
Rather than relying on the traditional stator–rotor configuration, 
The M-DAM motor is built around a magnetic gear system where the toothed wheels never physically touch.

Torque transmission occurs entirely through magnetic attraction and repulsion.

At its center is a main gear (“Sun”), encircled by synchronized satellite gears (“Earth” and “Moon”). These gears embed permanent magnets and rotate in coordinated pairs.

Because the magnetic teeth engage without contact, mechanical friction and phase shifts are minimized.
Field suppressors are incorporated to limit magnetic interference between opposing poles.

Now, let’s walk through the design and core specifications. 
🎯 Magnetic gear train (Sun–Earth–Moon architecture)
🎯 Four Soowil boosters and four magnetic impellers
🎯 24 permanent magnet spheres in a vacuum orbital system
🎯 128 peripheral copper windings
🎯 3,000–3,500 RPM operating speed
🎯 Output: ~32 kVA (prototype stage)
🎯 Managed by a pulse-controlled electronic system

 So, what really makes this technology different? Let us talk about it. 
✅ No physical gear contact → lower mechanical wear
✅ Synchronized magnetic fields → stable rotational speed
✅ Compact magnetic configuration → potential for higher power density
✅ Reduced phase displacement → improved torque consistency
✅ Centrifugal-force-based design → mitigation of eddy current effects

My key takeaway is that, given its underlying technology and claimed advantages, the M-DAM motor has the potential to challenge the century-old stator–rotor paradigm.

However, its true impact will depend entirely on successful industrial validation and scalable real-world performance.

P.S. The technology was shared directly by Joseph Damour, with authorization to publish on LinkedIn.
His French startup is currently looking for industrial and financial partners to help bring this motor to market.

The product is under development and testing stage, and SolidWorks simulations indicate that the underlying principle is functioning as intended.
