Drive equipment for an electric vehicle, and vehicle

A drive equipment for an electric vehicle, comprising:

• a stator which is configured for generating a magnetic rotating field and has:
• a stator core which extends along a longitudinal axis and in which a multiplicity of slots are disposed in the circumferential direction, and
• a stator winding which occupies a plurality of winding zones in the slots, wherein each winding zone in a cross-sectional plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis by way of a centric radial division is sub-divided into a first side and into a second side;
• and
• a converter equipment for converting magnetic energy of the rotating field into a rotating output movement of the drive equipment, wherein the converter equipment comprises:
• a rotor which conjointly with the stator forms a rotating electric machine such that the rotor is able to be set in a rotating rotor movement which, as a function of the rotating field, selectively has one of two opposite rotation directions, and
• a transmission portion which is configured for transmitting rotating rotor movements to the rotating output movement
• wherein the converter equipment has one of the two rotation directions of the rotating rotor movement as the preferred rotation direction, wherein the second side along the preferred rotation direction succeeds the first side and each winding zone on the first side occupies a smaller cross-sectional area of the slots than on the second side.
