Donut Labs and the electric motors everyone has been talking about
Briefly

Donut Labs is developing innovative motor technology that significantly increases efficiency and reduces components in electric vehicles (EVs). The company highlights the varying benefits of its technology based on the size and application of vehicles. They argue that their compact and lightweight designs enable substantial performance increases, particularly for larger vehicles like semi-trucks. With positive reception at CES and a growing interest among major OEMs, Donut Labs is poised to contribute significantly to the future of EVs, potentially paving the way for more efficient designs in various transportation sectors in the coming years.
The set of benefits is different to each application or each size," Piippo said. "In small things, you're very price conscious, and you need to kind of optimize for the cost.
For a compact EV crossover, Donut Labs thinks its tech could reduce the number of components in a powertrain by three-quarters, saving weight and assembly time-and therefore money.
