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 https://www.quora.com/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 | 1 | 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 |
Weight | 1 | 0 | -1 | 2 motors is heavier than 1, but it could help balance out the CG -Malcolm |
total | 0 | 1 | Looks like 2 motors is the way to go due to its increased torque capacity and the fact that the battery is designed for 2 motors |
