    High efficiency EV motor

    Source:

    • Lower current - electrical losses are (I882)*R so a faster turning motor will have a higher, back EMF needed a higher voltage. Higher voltages reduce resistance losses leaving more power to the motor.
    • Higher feed voltage reduces current loss in the battery and power lines.
    The upper voltage limit is set by the switching power electronics. But this constantly improves as we make better switching devices.

    this news is revealing in that our media has tried to pour tons of clickbait drama into plug-in sales news that occasionally shows sales dip (implying the end us near for plugins) down on their upward spiral.
