This article is from 2014 so I thought it would be interesting to see how things are going. It's hard to tell whether the subject of the article, Protean, is having success with the in-wheel motor. Their website is vague about who their customers are: http://www.proteanelectric.com/about-us/ http://www.proteanelectric.com/about-us/ At the end of the article they mention that China set a goal of 500,000 non-fossil fuel cars on the road by 2015, it looks like they probably got there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_car_use_by_country#/media/File:Top_PEV_global_markets_stock_Dec_2016.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_car_use_by_country#/m... They also stated the goal is to have 5M on the road by 2020, which also looks like they'll get close since there were 352,000 sold in 2016: https://qz.com/972897/china-is-selling-more-electric-vehicles-than-the-us-and-its-not-even-close/ https://qz.com/972897/china-is-selling-more-electric-vehicle... and what looks like a 72% growth rate over 2015. That would mean (if the 72% growth holds, it could even increase): Current: ~600K 2017: 600K sold 2018: 1M sold 2019: 1.72M sold Total: ~4M
