Yasa’s motor doesn’t use exotic materials or manufacturing processes, meaning its production is easily scalable. No less than a week ago, a small British company called Yasa unofficially set the world record for the highest power density in an electric motor. The CompetitionKoenigseggWhile Yasa’s prototype motor took the crown for most power density, it technically isn’t the most powerful electric motor on the planet. The Swedish engineers at Koenigsegg have Yasa beat with their Dark Matter electric motor, capable of producing 800 hp and 921 lb-ft of torque. Perhaps an even lighter, more modest electric motor from Yasa could be a catalyst for the next ultra-affordable, ultra-efficient EV.
