Elon Musk’s New Electric Motor That WIll Change The EV Race!
At its most recent Investor Day event, Tesla made a statement that may have repercussions for the whole electric vehicle (EV) market. The automaker disclosed its intention to stop using rare earth materials in its electric motors.
Like with anything Tesla-related, a lot of people are discussing the most recent EV development milestone on social media with the headline “Tesla’s Next-Gen Electric Motors Will Get Rid Of Rare Earth Elements.” Thousands of people have commented, some of whom are really enthusiastic, but few are skeptical about how Tesla will pull this off. And so in today’s episode, let’s find out how Tesla will make this happen, and what are the possible alternatives.
Hello everyone! Welcome back to Elon Musk Evolution, where we bring you the most recent news about Elon Musk and his multi billion-dollar companies, space news and the latest science and technology.

The ground-breaking electric motor may signify a turning point for the entire EV industry. Because rare earth elements are expensive and scarce, as their name implies, automakers want to avoid using them.
Also, it’s because China has a strong hold on the supply chain. Prices are unpredictable because China is responsible for about two thirds of the mining and 85% of the refinement of these minerals.
The metals neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium are frequently utilized in electric vehicle motors. They might not have been well-liked elements when you first learnt about the periodic table in chemistry class, however these days they are quite well-liked because they are utilized to make the magnets in DC permanent magnet motors.
Costs would decrease, which would lower the cost of Tesla’s automobiles if it follows through on its commitment to totally eliminate these components. Given that Tesla has reduced its prices, this would be a significant incentive for customers to switch to an electric vehicle (EV). This is especially true given that EV prices are predicted to soon catch up to those of gas-powered vehicles.
What is rare earth?
The abundance of rare earth elements in the crust of the earth is relatively high, with cerium being the 25th most prevalent element with 68 parts per million. It is consequently as plentiful as copper. Rare earth elements are frequently scattered because of their geochemical characteristics. This indicates that they are not frequently found in concentrated enough clusters to be economically mineable. These minerals were originally known as rare earths because of their rarity.
The Lanthanide series, which includes the 15 rare earth elements, is a subgroup of the periodic table. Lanthanum to samarium and europium to lutetium are considered light and heavy elements, respectively, in the classification of rare earths. The latter are more costly since they are less prevalent.
Rare earths are powerful reducers chemically. The majority of their compounds are ionic and have high melting and boiling temperatures. When in their metallic state, rare earths are comparatively soft, but those with a higher atomic number tend to be harder. With the help of other metallic and nonmetallic elements, rare earths can form compounds, each of which has unique chemical properties. In many electrical, optical, magnetic, and catalytic applications, they are hence necessary and irreplaceable.
