Provided is an electric water pump in which a portion of a fluid discharged from the vicinity of an outer peripheral edge of an impeller flows between the impeller and a lower casing, flows between a rotor and the lower casing, flows between a shaft and the rotor along a channel formed inside the rotor, and then flows to an inlet side of the impeller such that the fluid circulates outside and inside the rotor, and thus, foreign matters contained in the fluid do not accumulate in an accommodation space between the rotor and the lower casing, and thus, efficiency and durability of a motor can be improved.
