Wireless in-wheel electric assemblies with integrated in-wheel cooling and vehicles incorporating the same

A vehicle comprising:

• one or more batteries;
• a transmitting coil electrically coupled to the one or more batteries and operable to transmit wirelessly transmitted energy;
• and
• a wireless in-wheel electric motor assembly comprising:
• a wheel;
• an electric motor disposed within the wheel, the electric motor comprising a stator and a rotor;
• a receiving coil operable to receive wirelessly transmitted energy from the transmitting coil;
• a first conversion circuit electrically coupled to the receiving coil and operable to convert the wirelessly transmitted energy from the receiving coil into direct current, wherein the first conversion circuit is disposed within the wheel;
• an inverter circuit electrically coupled to the first conversion circuit and the electric motor, wherein the inverter circuit is operable to power the electric motor and is disposed within the wheel;
• and
• a cooling system comprising:
• a micro pump operable to pump coolant;
• a fluid line operable to pass the coolant proximate at least one of the first conversion circuit and the inverter circuit;
• and
• a heat exchanger operable to receive heated coolant and dissipate heat to an environment.
