This paper investigates the incorporation of multiphase (MP) and variable flux (VF) permanent magnet motors to electric vehicles (EVs). A literature review is carried out first, which covers the characteristics, benefits and challenges of both motor configurations. MP motors, with their increased phase number, offer enhanced fault tolerance, reduced torque ripple, and improved efficiency, among other benefits. VF technology allows for dynamic adjustment of the magnetic field, optimising motor performance across various operating conditions. By integrating these technologies, this study aims to harness the benefits of both MP configurations and VF capabilities. For this reason, the Finite Element Method (FEM) is used with three-phase, MP, VF, and VF-MP motors. The main contribution is that both technologies have been implemented in a single motor to evaluate and quantify their impact together, obtaining higher torque and constant power values, lower torque ripples, and higher efficiencies in the whole working range.
