Why would you want to? Existing cars suck to work on compared to an electric. Ice needs too many parts it's inefficient for moving vehicles. Legit ditch all that running gear and give me hub motors on suspension arms. That's it. Don't need anything else.
Ice vehicles gonna get squeezed out by economics. Why pay some Muppet a few k to pull a block out to do gaskets when for little more than removing a Tyre I could replace the entire hub motor. Maybe a few hundred in labor compared to a few thousand. Hell for some car models like my subi I basically have to remove the entire front end or pull the block out just to do the head gaskets.
- ggreer 3y agoWhat EVs on the road today have hub motors? That unsprung mass would ruin handling. Also the motor could easily be damaged by hard bumps from potholes or curbs.
