Try a larger wire. Remember that 1400+ amp starting surge.
You might also try "pre-spinning" the motor to reduce the starting surge.
I wouldn't give up on that motor so easily. I'm not a motor expert, and
someone should correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've seen, big EV
motors seldom if ever fail dead shorted.
I'm not giving up on the motor, but I'm giving up on driving it home
with just a new fuse ;>
After I tow it home I'll be investigating in much more depth.
