Comparação técnica e mercadológica dos motores elétricos utilizados nos veículos de tração elétrica

Abstract

This study aims to technically and commercially compare the electric motors from leading manufacturers, BYD and Tesla, contributing to an understanding of the challenges and opportunities in the transition to electric traction vehicles. The research begins with a literature review covering the history and evolution of electric motors, highlighting their environmental relevance and the technological advancements driving sustainable mobility. To achieve this, the study analyzes constructive aspects — such as type, power, torque, and positioning — in addition to evaluating costs, market strategies, and consumer acceptance. This research provided a richer understanding of the electric vehicle market. We identified the most common motor types used by major automakers and recognized that the number and quantity of motors is the primary differentiator between BYD and Tesla, and how this impacts their current and intended market position.
