IN-WHEEL EV MOTORS

Dec 11, 2025

This is news I’ve been looking for. A new EV design uses high-torque axial-flux electric motors in each wheel. That means no drivetrain — just a battery and a computer — delivering enormous weight savings. It’s a high-end vehicle for now, but this is the kind of technology that’s certain to trickle down to the consumer level.

Also, the U.S. Postal Service plans to deploy 66,000 electric vehicles by 2028, replacing an aging fleet powered by dinosaur juice that’s become too expensive to maintain.
