Argonne develops lighter, cheaper, more efficient motor for EVs, charging

Wind farm outside Fort MacLeod, Alberta, Canada   [photographer: Joel Bennett]Saving weight and increasing efficiency and power are among the most common goals for electric-car engineers. The biggest breakthroughs in those specs generally come in batteries. But it's not the only place. Now scientists at Argonne National Labs have developed a lighter, cheaper, and more efficient motor, called HyMag, that can give equivalent...
