UK-based YASA has just built a tiny electric motor that makes Tesla motors look like slackers, and this invention could potentially reshape the future of EVs
The voltage/hp comparison there doesn’t really fit.
Power is in watts or horsepower. You multiply the torque with the RPM and a scaling factor to get power.
A higher voltage system could probably be expected to produce more torque and power from the same size motor, but a lot depends on the design of the motor.
Then to answer “how much torque though,” I haven’t looked into it but electric motors have a very nice torque curve across the RPM range. If a motor made all that power with low torque, then it must spin at super high RPM and need to be geared down.
That motor doesn’t look like it has enough mass to properly make enough torque to drive the weight of a car even if said car it made entirely of carbon fiber
