I do believe that motors in the wheelhubs are the future, but i think it either needs to be a direct drive or use a robust inbuilt planetary gear set, like the drivewheels in diggers
A company called Elaphe already has an electric hub motor design that was originally going to be in the lordstown trucks. Also the Aptera will be using a custom version designed for maximum efficiency and better suited to their application. So hopefully the future will be here sooner than later.
