How to improve EV traction motor efficiency

Charged EVs

The vast majority of losses in an ICE vehicle occur in the conversion of chemical energy to mechanical—the so-called Carnot Efficiency—which might approach 40% in the best of cases. The CVT4EV is a continuously variable transmission with a pushbelt that Bosch says can increase the efficiency of light commercial EVs by more than 4 percent.
