How does the electric motor in the BMW iX work?

I'm interested in learning more about the electric motor in the BMW iX. Can someone explain how it works and what makes it different from traditional combustion engines?

The BMW iX electric motor works by using energy from the battery to power the movement of the vehicle. Unlike traditional combustion engines, there are no pistons or spark plugs, and the motor creates torque directly without needing to go through a transmission. It's a much simpler and more efficient system.

As an electric vehicle, the BMW iX motor also allows for regenerative braking, which means it can recover energy when you slow down or brake. This makes it more sustainable and can help extend the range of the vehicle.
