Electric Vehicle Components

The original invention of the electric motor by Faraday involved an axial flux permanent magnet motor, but ever since almost all permanent magnet traction motors have been radial flux. Now, the unique power & torque density advantages of axial flux, alongside more advanced manufacturing techniques, is leading them to make a comeback in certain electric vehicle markets.

In this premium article, IDTechEx cover some of the thermal management highlights from the presentations at the Thermal Management Systems Digital Summit held online on 17th-18th November 2020
