The invention provides a built-in tangential permanent 
magnet steel hub driving motor of an 
electric vehicle and belongs to the technical field of automobile motor electric appliances. The built-in tangential permanent 
magnet steel hub driving motor of the 
electric vehicle consists of a shaft, a front end cover, a rear end cover, a hub casing, a rotor, a 
stator and a 
stator support. A first piece of rectangular permanent 
magnet steel and the other piece of rectangular permanent magnet steel are sequentially installed in radial rectangular grooves of a rotor iron core in a mode that an N-pole of the first piece of rectangular permanent magnet steel is opposite to an N-pole of the other piece of rectangular permanent magnet steel, and an S-pole of the first piece of rectangular permanent magnet steel is opposite to an S-pole of the other piece of rectangular permanent magnet steel, a tangential 
permanent magnet rotor with N-poles and S-poles arranged at intervals is formed, the structure is a rotor magnetic bypass structure and can effectively prevent the permanent magnet steel from producing irreversible demagnetization under the armature reaction effect of 
impact current, and excitation loss of the permanent magnet steel is ensured. A rotor 
magnetic field of the hub driving motor is provided by the permanent magnet steel without electro-magnetic windings, 
electric energy consumption is low, carbon brushes and mechanical commutators are not adopted, the 
failure rate is low, and the built-in tangential permanent magnet steel hub driving motor has high-efficiency, high-power-density and remarkable magnetic focusing effect and can provided enough power for the 
electric vehicle.
