AC Motors

The Tesla model uses electric AC motors.

The reason for using AC motors in some vehicles is that when going downhill it will act like a generaotr to power the battery up again.

An inverter is needed to convert the DC power from the batteries to AC or the vehicle.

An electric motor in a car will allow a car to take off at high speed because the power is the same at the start and the finish of the battery’s lie cycle unlike a traditional gas or diesel powered car which gradually begins to slow down as the engine wears down or the batteries are near to the finish line.
