The invention provides a short magnetic circuit short torque winding motor of an electric vehicle, belonging to the technical field of automobile motors. The short magnetic circuit short torque winding motor is characterized by comprising a sector core, a cast aluminum rotor, a stator core, excitation windings, armature windings, and a shaft, wherein the stator core is internally provided with 12Xstator poles of equal width, X is a positive integer, a sector groove of the cast aluminum rotor is internally embedded with a magnetically conductive sector core, the bottom of the sector core is provided with a plurality of dovetail-shaped bulges, both the excitation windings and the armature windings are centralized short torque windings, one excitation winding is wound on the stator core every two stator poles, and the armature winding is wound on a stator pole between two excitation windings. The short magnetic circuit motor is low in iron loss under identical magnetic density; the windings are short torque windings, so that a lot of copper material is saved, the generator produces less heat but works more efficiently; only one phase of winding is outside each stator tooth of the motor, windings are not overlaid, slots are used more efficiently, and slot fill factor is high.
