No pistons. No explosions. Just magnets, copper and timing. An electric motor has one moving part: and you're about to take control of it.
Push current through the stator coils and watch the rotor chase the rotating magnetic field.
Push electric current through a copper coil and it becomes an electromagnet. The six coils around the edge, the stator, switch on and off in sequence, creating a magnetic field that rotates around the circle thousands of times per minute.
The spinning part, the rotor, carries its own magnets. Opposite poles attract, so the rotor is permanently chasing the rotating field, like a sprinter chasing a pace car that never slows down. More current = stronger field = harder pull.
One 200 kW motor drives the front axle, one drives the rear. Independent control of each axle means the car can shift force between front and rear wheels in milliseconds: essential when the surface changes from rock to sand mid-corner. Together they peak at 400 kW, roughly 550 horsepower.
