Yasa's axial flux motor has set an unofficial record for power density, achieving 550 kW (737 hp) while weighing just 28.8 pounds (13.1 kg), resulting in a power-to-weight ratio of 42 kW/kg. In contrast, the Tesla Model 3's rear drive unit outputs 239 kW (320 hp) but weighs about 176 lbs (80 kg), highlighting Yasa's significant advancement in electric motor technology. Tim Woolmer, Yasa's CTO, noted the potential for mass production without exotic materials, emphasizing implications for the EV industry and battery costs.
Yasa's axial flux motor achieved a staggering output of 550 kW (737 hp) while weighing only 28.8 lbs (13.1 kg), establishing an outstanding power-to-weight ratio of 42 kW/kg.
The Tesla Model 3's rear drive unit weighs approximately 176 lbs (80 kg) and generates up to 239 kW (320 hp), indicating less than half the power of Yasa's motor for six times the weight.
Tim Woolmer, Yasa's CTO, asserted that the record was achieved without exotic materials, hinting at the potential for mass production at viable costs.
A lighter electric vehicle, facilitated by Yasa's technology, can achieve more miles per charge, leading to significant cost reductions by requiring fewer battery cells.
