Re: [Vo]:Re: The Lightning: Electric car with wheel motors, nano-titanate batteries

I have seen a video about a Japanese motor-in-wheel electric car. Eight 
wheels to get the necessary total power. Powered by a fortune in lithium ion 
batteries. Outperformed top of the line gasoline race cars. This was several 
years ago. I don't know if the motor technology is better now [very custom 
motor design] but the battery technology is getting incrementally better.
