Claims Cybercab has zero rare earths, without losing range. EV motors are entering another race. This time, it is not about magnets. Tesla’s Cybercab has changed the conversation. Elon Musk says its drive motor uses no rare earths. He also says range is not reduced. That is technically very interesting. Why is this so difficult? Strong magnetic output needs strong materials.NdFeB magnets provide extremely high magnetic flux. Ferrite magnets are much weaker. So this becomes a

This rare-earth-free Axial SynRM looks practical 👇 We know that High torque needs rare earths. In my motor development experience, Material cost always becomes a bottleneck. For many EV manufacturers, Reducing motor cost is becoming As important as increasing efficiency. A motor that uses fewer critical materials could improve both profitability and supply chain stability. I was reading about the NAFTech project. Typical PMSM uses 20–30% magnet cost. Their SynRM reduces thi
