METHOD OF OPERATING AN ELECTRICALLY PROPELLED VEHICLE

The invention relates to an electrically propelled vehicle (1) with at least one electric machine having a stator (17b) and a rotor (17a) with a rotor core (172a), the rotor (17a) being kinematically connected with at least one driving wheel (2), the electric machine being connected to a control device (18) and an energy source. The electric machine is designed as a hysteresis machine (17), wherein the rotor core (172a) of the rotor (17a) comprises a hard magnetic material, wherein said rotor (17a) comprises at least one cooling channel (174) for a cooling media. This enables high continuous braking power with very limited capacity of the power line.
