Solar cars use CSIRO motor Link
http://www.csiro.au/resources/pf11g.html#design is a similar lay out to Golden printed Motor
This BLDC motor achieves 98 per cent efficiency at 1800w and is generally accepted as the most efficient in solar car racing. It has a low active component weight (6 kg), and a total wheel weight of 14.5 kg (including the tyre). with a top speed of around 110kl/h
In-wheel motors used by other teams typically had energy efficiency less than 95 per cent and weighed twice as much -- not including the wheel and tyre.
Pricing information
This one-page document details pricing and conditions for purchasing a solar car motor kit. The price of a single kit is around A$12 000.
