Specification — 72V

72V Brushless DC Motor For Heavy EVs, Golf Carts And Industrial Drives.

72V is the go-to voltage for applications that need more power density than 48V without the complexity of high-voltage drive systems. Golf carts, heavy-duty electric scooters, low-speed utility vehicles and industrial pump drives all benefit from the lower current draw and better efficiency that 72V provides. Shenghe manufactures 72V BLDC motors from 200W to 1500W with planetary and worm gear options for high-torque output.

  • Rated voltage 72V DC (60V–84V operating range)
  • 200W to 1500W rated power
  • High-torque planetary and worm gear options
  • Regenerative braking compatible
Why 72V BLDC

Benefits Of The 72V Voltage Class

  • 33% lower current than 48V at equal power — significant cable and connector savings
  • Higher bus voltage allows more efficient FOC control at high speed
  • Compatible with 20S Li-ion and 24S LiFePO4 battery packs
  • Proven ecosystem for golf carts, NEVs and industrial traction
  • Supports regenerative braking without boost converter
  • Better thermal margin in continuous-duty industrial applications
