The car makers with any volume are using asynchronous AC motors (Leaf, Tesla) or PM DC synchronous motors (GM). Tesla got a lot of publicity when there was speculation about the Model 3 using a reluctance motor, which suggests it would have been a new thing. But it turns out to be a hybrid of PM and reluctance. Possibly Chinese vendors are doing something different for cars, but the e-bike and scooter motors are all PM.
I don't believe the company in the article have anything at the level they are claiming.
