The invention provides a permanent-magnet hybrid magnetic circuit drive motor of an electric vehicle, and belongs to the technical field of vehicle motor electric appliances. The permanent-magnet hybrid magnetic circuit drive motor of the electric vehicle is composed of a front end cover, a rear end cover, a motor case, a rotor and a stator. Tile permanent magnet steel is fixed to a rotor iron core through a screw via a pole shoe, and rectangular permanent magnet steel is embedded into the rotor iron core, so that a rotor magnetic bypass structure is achieved, the permanent magnet steel is effectively prevented from generating irreversible demagnetization under over-high temperature or under the armature reaction action of impact currents, and the permanent magnet steel does not lose magnetism. A rotor magnetic field of the drive motor is provided by a radial magnetic field and a tangential magnetic field together, the intensity of the magnetic field is large, the output power is high, no electro-magnetic winding is needed, power consumption is little, no carbon brush or mechanical commutator is provided, the failure rate is low, and the permanent-magnet hybrid magnetic circuit drive motor has the advantages of being high in efficiency, high in power density, compact in structure, reliable in working and the like.
