Yup, though they seem kinda hard to get ahold of. GE made some sepex motor/controller combos before they quit the ev bussiness, unfortunately they wanted you to buy at least 5 of them at a time IIRC. Kostov makes sepex motors and ZAPI makes sepex controllers. Curtis does too, but I'm not sure if they make any EV size ones. I think their are a few others out there too.
