Ozdemir says that the design is scalable and can be applied to motors in devices such as skateboards, bikes, motorcycles, cars, trucks and buses, as well as industrial equipment. Although she didn’t mention any specific brands, the Tesla Model 3 employs a dual-motor all-wheel-drive—one motor for low-end torque and another for speed. Seems to me they could shave a few kilograms off of the car’s weight, not to mention a few thousand dollars off of the price, by switching to a single motor with an electronic gearbox. Furthermore, the fact that it works for both motors and generators is a double win for an electric vehicle’s (EV’s) range, as it improves motor efficiency (thus using less energy per unit of distance) and increases energy capture during regenerative braking.
