Sounds like an electric motor in each wheel. ;)
MC: A Japanese group has built an all electric car with stunning
performance, using eight in-wheel motors and lithium -ion-cost-no-object
batteries. There is a limit to the power of an in-wheel motor, so they used
eight to get the acceleration needed. It will out-accelerate a top of the
line P orche.and go at high spped. Crusing range 300 kM per charge. GM is
reported to use the in-wheel motor in an advanced electric car. Makes sense
in that mechanical tremission losses are avoided.
