Several possible solutions for wheels motor drives for electrical vehicles (EVs) are investigated. Different solutions with axial flux motors (PM and induction) are proposed and studied. As a case study, a small electric city car has been chosen and a 10 kW motor for each front wheel has been selected for the comparison between the different solutions, the axial flux interior PM motors seem to be the best compromise in terms of efficiency, weight, compactness and capability characteristics.
