Hairpin motors optimize electric vehicle (EV) performance and range with flat, rectangular copper windings. Many high-performance EVs use permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) with hairpin windings to minimize energy losses and maximize power … [Read more...]
Rare earths: What’s driving the demand for copper in EV motors
Electric motors are a core component of electrification in the automotive market. The market has heavily relied on rare earths for the permanent magnets used in these motors, but, as many will be aware, there is a drive to eliminate these rare earths … [Read more...]
