with less load on the motor. As a result, a smaller copper cable is needed to connect the
motor terminals to the motor controller.
A smaller motor can often be fitted while maintaining the same or improved acceleration
performance, again because of the ability to change torque multiplication on the fly. The
smaller motor draws still fewer amps to get its job done, and requires less in the way of
power electronics.
With the smaller amp draws, a smaller battery pack can now be fitted, which results in extra
benefits from reduced pack weight (a large fraction of an EV’s weight lies in its batteries), and
reduced pack size. Taking out weight improves EV performance in every dimension.
