This article doesn’t explain anything innovative. There are plenty of motors around, using “wireless induction” (as opposed to some other kind of induction?), operating at very high efficiency.

Modern motors, with or without magnets, are efficient enough that saving 40% of emissions isn’t going to happen. (Or maybe they mean sometime strange by “overall carbon”).
