1. A 6-phase driving motor comprising input terminals of multiple conductor materials, the 6-phase driving motor comprising:
a rotor;
a stator including n cores (n is a natural number greater than 6) disposed to surround a circumference of the rotor;
n coil units wound to surround the cores, respectively, and connected to each other by end turns;
a first input terminal unit connected to three coil units selected from the n coil units, and including an input terminal made of a first conductor material; and
a second input terminal unit connected to three coil units of the other coil units other than the three coil units connected with the first input terminal unit, including an input terminal made of a second conductor material different from the first conductor material, and forming 6-phase input terminals together with the first input terminal unit,
wherein the first conductor is made of a material having higher conductivity than the second conductor,
wherein when the rotor is driven at a speed less than a predetermined reference speed, the 6-phase driving motor is controlled to apply a current through the first input terminal unit, and when the rotor is driven at a speed over the predetermined reference speed, the 6-phase driving motor is controlled to apply a current through the second input terminal unit,
wherein the input terminal of the first input terminal unit and the input terminal of the second input terminal unit comprise:
a coil connecting portion connected with the coil unit;
an extension portion having one end perpendicularly connected to the coil connecting portion in parallel with the end turn, and extending by a predetermined length; and
a power connecting portion connected to the other end of the extension portion at a predetermined angle to extend in a lateral direction of the stator, and connected to an external power source.
