  • Abstract
    This paper presents a comparison study of various motors for application to an electric vehicle (EV) and the potentiality of a ferrite magnet motor as a candidate for rare-earth-less motor for an EV. The rotor shape of the proposed ferrite magnet motor is based on a spoke-type shape. Further, we developed two types of prototypes: one has a large magnetic torque equivalent to a conventional rare-earth permanent magnet motor for an equal volume, and another has a wide variable-speed range suitable for an EV.
