Does the hub motor consume power when idling?

Hub motors still consume power when idling, but it consumes relatively little power. This is because the hub motor needs to maintain the operation of the internal electronic control system and sensors when idling, and also needs to maintain a certain mechanical operation to maintain the balance of the rotor. However, compared with the power consumption during actual work, the power consumption of the hub motor during idling is much smaller, so it has less impact on the cruising range of the electric vehicle. However, in order to save energy to the greatest extent, the idling of the hub motor should be avoided as much as possible.
