Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle motor technology, specifically disclosing a hub motor for electric vehicles. The hub motor includes: an electric drive housing, a motor shaft, a stator assembly, and rotor magnets. The electric drive housing has an internal cavity and is made of a lightweight alloy material. The motor shaft passes through the electric drive housing, and the stator assembly is disposed within the cavity. The stator assembly includes a stator core and coil windings, with the coil windings wound around the stator core. The stator core is fixedly mounted on the motor shaft, and the rotor magnets are spaced around the outer periphery of the stator core and fixedly mounted on the electric drive housing. This design, using a lightweight alloy electric drive housing, enables a lightweight design for the entire vehicle, reduces manufacturing costs, improves driving comfort and agility, and increases the vehicle's range.
