Design and Analysis of an In-Wheel Motor With Hybrid Pole–Slot Combinations

In-wheel motors provide propulsion power for a vehicle on a wide-speed-range basis. Day-to-day driving patterns indicate a particular need for high torque, such as when accelerating from a very low speed or when climbing a hill. Therefore, an in-wheel motor needs to provide not only sufficient power but also high torque, depending on different driving situations. However, high torque and high powe...
