This innovative in-wheel motor system brings several advantages:
- Improved efficiency with approximately 30% less mechanical loss
- Enhanced manoeuvrability with a 10-15% reduced turning radius
- Independent wheel control for superior traction and stability
- Increased interior space due to the elimination of traditional drivetrain components
- 25% more efficient energy regeneration through precise brake control
My wife and I own two EVs and are looking to swap one for another EV. What are you on about?
I am specifically talking about the problems with putting motors in wheels. It’s not a new idea, but manufacturers have hesitated to do it for various reasons. Unsprung weight and increased replacement cost among them.
You can’t imagine an accident where the wheels get hit?
Cars get totalled for less. A bent wheel on a luxury car is the least of my worries.
OK, so your position is that modern cars are so fragile, you won’t be replacing the wheels, anyway. You’ll just be junking the whole car.
Which is true, I guess. It’s not exactly a stellar place to be in general, but OK.
