Conifer Systems

Every electric motor today runs on rare-earth magnets, which means it runs on China's supply chain. Conifer builds the motor that breaks that dependence and power the next generation of EVs and robots.

Conifer builds compact, high-efficiency electric motors and powertrains that eliminate the need for rare-earth magnets. Its axial-flux motors use ferrite magnets instead, reducing reliance on fragile supply chains while maintaining strong performance. The company’s patented stator design cuts motor size and weight by nearly half, simplifying EV motor manufacturing with technology built by engineers from Lucid Motors and Apple.
