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
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.
My position is that if someone wants to make this and a buyer wants to buy it, it’s nothing but good news. They know and accept the risk, and the rest of us have better things to do than interfere.
And my position is that people should go into that with an honest appraisal of the up and downsides. Are we supposed to rely on the manufacturer to tell people that?
I’d be surprised anyone would bother reading that fine print.
