Rare earth magnets still optimum choice, says motor design expert
A forthcoming CWIEME Berlin workshop (to be held on 10-13 May 2016) by Motorsolver president and IEEE life fellow Jim Hendershot will delve into the pros and cons of hybrid and electric vehicle motor designs, encompassing performance, manufacturing methods and cost.
