98% efficient motors

Tesla motor tech is truly ahead of the game : my favourite bit about the article, making me think about applying this to esk8s :

“Combining an induction motor with a PMSRM makes sense because the two motor types have different performance characteristics. As Elon Musk put it last year, “one is optimized for power & one for range.” Induction motors offer high torque at low speeds, but they’re less energy-efficient overall. So dual-motor vehicles can send power to the induction motor when immediate, rapid acceleration is called for, then shift power to the PMSRM as the vehicle gets up to speed.”

Here’s another video that you may have watched… fascinating for me :

Yea Tesla seems way ahead of the game. Another up and coming motor don’t know if u looked at is the transverse flux motor. Seems maybe even more ideal for our use with it able to produce high torque at slow speed. It seems somewhat a simple design too in the winding and also could get great copper fill. It’s just the stator that seems the complex part to get made. If u see any revealing stuff on that I’d like to make those if possible. Or anyone see a reason that design isn’t a good candidate for a hub or DD? I’m far from able to model it
