Specification — 72V 1500W

72V 1500W Brushless DC Motor For Heavy EVs, Electric Boats And Industrial Drives.

The 72V 1500W combination delivers strong, sustained power at moderate current — only 22A at rated load. This makes it the preferred choice for heavy electric vehicles that need long cable runs, electric boats where wiring must stay thin to fit through hull penetrations and industrial machines that run continuously for hours. The higher bus voltage also improves regenerative braking efficiency, returning more energy to the battery during deceleration. Shenghe produces 72V 1500W BLDC motors in 86mm and 110mm frames with planetary, worm and right-angle gearbox options.

  • Rated voltage 72V DC (60V–84V operating range)
  • 1500W continuous rated power
  • Planetary, worm and right-angle gearbox options
  • Hall sensor standard, incremental encoder optional
Why 72V 1500W

Benefits Of The 72V 1500W Power Class

  • 22A rated current — 33% lower than 48V at same power, cutting wiring cost and weight
  • 4–6% higher drivetrain efficiency compared to 48V equivalent
  • Strong enough for single-motor EV traction up to 600 kg gross vehicle weight
  • Efficient regenerative braking at 72V — recovers more energy per stop event
  • 86–110mm frame sizes offer good torque density without excessive motor weight
  • Compatible with 20S Li-ion, 24S LiFePO4 or 6x 12V lead-acid battery configurations
