Abstract
Several possible solutions for axial flux wheel motor drives for Elect ric Vehicles (EVs) are investigated. As a case study, a small electric city car has been chosen and a 10 kW motor for each wheel has been se lected for the comparison between the different motors types. Among th e different solutions, the axial flux interior PM motors seem to be th e best compromise in terms of efficiency, weight, compactness and capa bility characteristics.
