In-Wheel Motors to Revolutionize Cars with 300 HP Per Wheel by 2026

Protean Electric is developing in-wheel motor technology that could revolutionize electric vehicle design by eliminating transmissions, improving performance, and reducing costs, with production planned for 2026. The technology offers benefits like enhanced traction and simplified mechanics but faces challenges such as managing unsprung weight and environmental durability. If successful, it could make EVs more affordable and accessible, potentially transforming the industry.
