Abstract

An electric vehicle having a hub motor in each wheel is disclosed. The motor of each wheel includes coils sets (44, 46, 48, fig.7) arranged to produce a magnetic field of the motor. The motor also includes a plurality of magnets (242, fig.3; fig.9). Each set of coils (44, 46, 48, fig.7) comprises a plurality of individually energised coils. Each individually energised coil may comprise more than one winding (74A, 74B, 74C, fig.8; fig.9). The motor also includes a plurality of control devices (80, fig.10), each device housed within the casing of the motor (80, fig.3) and connected to a respective individually energised coil. A common power connection links the control devices and a power source. Each wheel motor can provide regenerative braking. In braking mode, the control devices (80, fig.11) are arranged to switch their respective coils using pulse width modulation so that the current profile delivered by each control device (80) to the common power connection is offset in relation to that from other control devices. Full braking torque may thus be provided whilst avoiding current peaks on the common power connection. The redundancy in the design of the motor allows it to continue to provide both drive and braking torque even if some of the switching circuits fail. A dump resistor may also be incorporated and may be distributed around the wheel. DC plug braking may be used at very low speeds. A separate mechanical braking arrangement may not be needed.
