That *is* very cool, Stuart!

At SEMA wednesday Ford showed a 600HP all-electric F-150! Four 150HP hub-electric motors -- fully integrated -- based on PML's Hi-pa Drive (tm) ... not for sale but nice attention getter and I bet it's pretty darn quick too ...100% torque available from zero rpm! ;-)


[edit:] TG, there's even one for Co-Pilot! ...with not much unsprung weight added.
