High speed vehicle induction motorI found some info on high speed induction motors for electric cars at AC Propulsion. Alan Cocconi at AC

Propulsion has been working on induction motors and controllers for vehicles for 20 years. He did the prototypefor the EV-1 and his technology is licensed by Tesla Motors. He manufacturers a 200 hp (150 kw) high speed

induction motor with matching 600V IGBT controller (AC -150) both air cooled, which he sells to people who

want to convert their vehicles to electric, and presumably it's used to in prototype vehicles he builds for the

military. A pair of them were used in a car that broke the electric land speed record (245 mph). This system

directly connects the battery pack to the inverter, meaning the battery voltage sag at peak power must be lived

with, it is not regulated out.

I presume this motor is his design since he has patents (one of which I read) on design of low loss rotors for

high speed induction motors.

Official Tesla model s data

Model S sets the bar for electric driving range. Model S is offered with three battery options, each

delivering unprecedented range. All three batteries are contained within the same enclosure,

integrating with the vehicle in the same way, providing structural, aerodynamic, and handling

advantages. All three batteries use automotive-grade lithium-ion cells arranged for optimum energy

density, thermal management, and safety.
