WIP: Number of Motors
Criteria | Weighting | 1 Motor (datum) | 2 Motor | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Torque | 1 | 0 | 1 | Torque is doubled with 2 motors, which is better for racing If you add multiple motors to an electric vehicle, does that increase performance? |
Speed | 1 | 0 | 0 | adding another motor doesn't affect the speed |
Power Consumption | 1 | 0 | 0 | Battery was designed to provide max power to 2 motors, providing 10kW continuously with high power cells, and as low as 8640W with high performance cells, in other words, can work well with either option |
Weight | 1 | 0 | -1 | 2 motors is heavier than 1, but it could help balance out the CG -Malcolm |
