Look at things like the "microstepper drivers" and "inverter heat pumps" too; its not just that we're getting more motor options, we're getting better at switching and shaping rich, chunky amps with little cheap chips of glass. That's opening up all sorts of capabilities that were fairy tale expensive before if they were possible at all.
- xhkkffbf 5y agoHear hear! I think we're just beginning to understand how much we can use smart chips and intelligent switching to improve performance. All you need to do is look at one of the old motors with brushes to realize how far we've come.
- Terry_Roll 5y agoYes, tapping that regenerative power will be a major step towards wheels directly geared to a clutchless motor which will then eliminate drive train losses. And I think alot of motors dont do regen in any major way yet. The problem with regen is its too spiky and lithium ion charging doesnt like that unlike lead acid which can handle it, but using multiple battery options is becoming more normal. Cars fitted with stop start technology typically have an additional battery using either the newer cheaper Enhanced Cyclic Mat (ECM) batteries and the more older more expensive Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries, but they work.
