Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

1.4.1 Lecture: Electric motors for electric vehicles

Course subject(s) Module 1. How does an EV work?

Where in the previous lecture, we discussed different drivetrains, during this lecture we will dive further into the motor itself. Auke will discuss how the classic electric motor, the brushed DC motor, works and will then elaborate on more modern motors that are currently conventionally used in EVs. He will discuss advantages and disadvantages of each of the motor types and then draw his final conclusions about the future of EV motors.
