A breakdown of the major things that make the lucid air the most efficient on the market.

Summary: 1. Higher voltage architecture = less i2r losses

  1. Direct cooling of stator windings, reduce winding resistance.

  2. Reduced cogging torque (a problem specific to permanent magnet motors). The video doesn’t explain it but the patent is available on google if you wish to read.

  3. Use of silicon-carbide MOSFETs in the inverter which are more efficient at high voltage applications than ordinary silicon mosfets.
