GM Study Highlights The Increasing Technical Demands on Motors of Increasing Electrification; Bar Wound Stators as Good Present-Day Solution

Green Car Congress

While hybrid architectures see a relatively small difference in temperature between the bar wound and wire wound technologies, a full EV application sees a temperature difference of more than 20 °C, according to the GM analysis. Continuous motor duty increases with electrification. Click to enlarge. The drive cycle is at the top.
