Electric Motor wizzadry

[Nick 50]

So are any of the BCF good at explaining EV motors in thicko terms please?

I'm part of a team for Formula Student at uni which is using Electric Motors.

The motor power must not exceed 80kW of Power.

It has been calculated we need a max wheel speed of 1260rpm and 250Nm of Torque.

We plan on using 2 motors, so 125Nm per wheel and 40kW power.

Found this motor:
https://www.enstroj.si/images/stories/emrax_228_hv_lc_power_rpm_torque_2014.jpg

There are 2 main events:

1) Acceleration run over 75m

2) Endurance: going round set track for 22km

Can someone please explain how to read the motor characteristics chart above in terms of the specification we have please??

Continuous power is how much power the motor can put out continually.

Peak power is what it can put out over a short time.

That motor puts out 100kw, it's in excess of what you are allowed.

Reading graphs is GCSE science stuff. How can you be at University and not be able to read a graph

If you can't read graphs then don't worry, all the information is on their website.

Which uni are you at?

It seems that this particular motor exceeds power requirements and doesn't meet torque requirements.
Also, you mentioned that you would be looking for two motors, with a wheel speed lower than the motor would run at. This means you would need a gearbox. Taking into account the weight of two motors and gearboxes, wouldn't it be better to use a single, slightly larger motor/gearbox coupled to a differential if acceleration is important?
