The technical advantages of hub motors are significant. By independently controlling the torque output of the four wheels, the system can achieve precise torque vector distribution, greatly enhancing ...

The biggest highlight of the hub motor is its independent four-wheel drive mode, which provides unprecedented control freedom for the vehicle. By precisely controlling the torque of each wheel, the ...

Donut Lab, which unveiled a family of in-wheel electric motors at CES 2025, has spent almost a decade searching for one of the holy grails of the EV industry: in-wheel motors that actually work. These ...

Something of an automotive phenom, Munich startup DeepDrive is hard at work on a more practical, mass production-ready in-wheel electric motor. Its unique radial flux motor concept uses a dual-rotor ...

Ferdinand Porsche, it seems, was always ahead of the curve. He conceived one of the earliest electric cars back in 1900, which later added a gas engine to compensate for its primitive lead batteries.

Ford has filed a patent application for solid axles with integrated hub motors, hinting at a very different kind of EV powertrain from the Blue Oval. Instead of allowing wheels to move up and down ...

Nissan Motor will close its design centers in California and Sao Paulo and scale back operations in London and Japan as part ...
