This may have been answered before. I don't know much about electric propulsion. I was wondering, since there is a separate electric motor on each wheel. How do they know how fast each other are going and how is this effected by age, cold, heat, rain, sharp turns. How are traction issues handled during the aforementioned conditions.
Thanks all, Jace
Electric motor is very different to ICE engine. ICE is traditionally controlled by limiting the air consumption of the motor or amount of fuel injected per power stroke. ICE engine is though roughly controlling the power output, not the motor speed, though they are somewhat related. Electric is controlled by motor voltage, current and length and timing of voltage and current pulse per each coil. Brushless electric motor rotor position and speed is known very precisely at all time. Speed of the electric motor can be controlled precisely as long as torque of the motor is sufficient to the task at hand.
