There isn't much more efficiency to be gained in the electric motor world. Motors typically get 90% of theoretical efficiency, so any improvements there will be modest.

Substantial improvements in other metrics might be had, but they probably won't massively impact EV's (weight and costs of the motor are both a small part of the total for a car)
