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
I don’t understand, what do you envision the disadvantage is over tradition axel wheels? It’s cheaper and easier to repair because you don’t have to fix the entire axel, but just fix one. Also, each of the four motors are cheaper than one combined one, for both sunk costs and upkeep costs. What matters is the consistency between the four motors.
It’s not cheaper to repair when there’s a whole lot of copper and magnets in the wheel. Copper ain’t cheap.
Unsprung weight problems are mostly an issue for those of us who like to run cars on the track, but it’s a consideration.
