A closer look at axial flux motors

Charged EVs

Conversely, the majority of radial flux machines are the asynchronous induction type, whereas most axial flux machines are the PM synchronous type. Needless to say, the combination of rare earth magnets and a carbon fiber composite frame to hold them does not make for a cheap rotor assembly.

Conversely, high coating thicknesses for the electrodes produce a high energy density. Alternatively they can serve as buffers for renewables such as wind and solar power—whether as part of the grid or as home installations. The majority of stations currently available on the market support DC charging with 50 kW.
