What are the main categories of electric vehicle drive motors?
1 Answers
Electric vehicle drive motors are mainly divided into four categories: DC motors, AC asynchronous motors, permanent magnet motors, and switched reluctance motors, each with its own characteristics and advantages: DC motors are commonly used in entry-level electric vehicles; asynchronous motors make kinetic energy recovery easier; permanent magnet synchronous motors excel in noise control and precision; switched reluctance motors have a simple structure. Electric vehicles refer to vehicles powered by on-board power sources, driven by motors to move the wheels, and meeting all requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. Electric vehicles are divided into three categories: pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell electric vehicles.
