Eh? Leaving aside the well known (though apparently not to these folks)
wheel motor problem of unsprung mass, why would they need a transmission
with wheel motors?
I noticed that too. And an off-road vehicle is probably the worse place
for heavy wheels.
Van de Loo predicts funding will come from the private sector until
the car maker is able to hold an initial public offering.
Yeah, so have hundreds of other EV startups. Good luck with that.
Agreed.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see a market for this EV.
Probably not but lots of Australia has plenty of sunshine and a dearth
of road. And gas is expensive. So it may have more appeal than most of
us in the US think. But I think that price is probably a deal killer
especially for something you're going to go trashing in the outback.
