1st generation: em61
used in the first generation nissan leaf, is a stand alone ipsm motor with a theoretical peak power output of a 250kw+.
regarded as nissans "r&d" motor, being the presents of stronger rare earth magents and design. resulting in a slightly higher torque output effeicny than the gen2 em57 motor.
2nd generation: em57
The em57 is the second generation of motors used in the nissan leaf, and a variety of other vehicles.
From model year 20xx till present
The em57 motor is a liquid cooled ipsm motor with a theoretical peak power output of a 250kw+.
The em57 utilizes a stacking architecture for the power electrons, compared to the isolated nature of the em61 motor.
Nissan has continued to use the em57 motor threw multiple generation of vehicles, resulting in mechanically plug and play OEM inverter upgrades.
inverters currently compatible with the em57 motor:
- gen 2 leaf 80kw inverter
- gen 3 leaf 110kw inverter
- gen 3 leaf 160kw inverter
great budget motor for ev conversion.
the motor is very powerful and capable, which can be for relatively cheap from auto-wrecks.
