I highly doubt the Fiegao's run 80% efficiency, they would melt at that efficiency.

And the 94% is the max efficiency for the Lehner, that's at higher rpm, and higher torque. I'm talking typical efficiency, it could not be 94%.

On the Lehner website, they have the 3060 at 15,000 watts @94%, and peak efficiency was 95%. I wonder, with the right combo of voltage and motor turns, the efficiency could reach 96% peak?

There was a solar team a couple years ago that had a slotless, halbach array brushless motor, it had a very broad efficiency of 98% , that's what we need! We would have motors the size of a 380 can motor, and power a big MT.
