That's an interesting website. I was especially gratified to learn that, according to their page on wind machines, "Chorus's high-phase order drive eliminates single points of failure and reduces power electronics costs by X%." I take it that's the Roman numeral 10? Over the years, we've had quite a few discussions here about the practicality of wheel motors for road EVs. There seem to be some significant obstacles. The only really successful road EV application of them I've yet heard of was Luciole, though I suspect there've been others. http://www.gaura.net/ev/luciole/index_e.html Disclaimer: I have had a hopeless crush on Luciole since I first saw her picture. ;-) Maybe with aircraft, wheel motors have finally found their niche.
