Ferrite magnet motors do not use neodymium, a rare earth element, or dysprosium or terbium, resources which are particularly limited in quantity. As such, they are expected to reduce resource risks and costs in addressing the growing demand for xEVs. As such, there are concerns that resource risks will increase as demand grows.
