All wheel drive electric vehicle from Mercedes

Postby churchill » Tue Oct 22, 2013 9:11 pm

EV's are getting better every year. Torque vectoring is easy with this setup and sounds like it has a great effect on the handling.

Lithium air batteries can deliver almost the same energy density as gasoline, they only need to be developed as currently 80 charge cycles looks like all they can get.

All this transfers to a 4x4 real nicely, should be some great traction benefits as well. You'll be able to dial up turn in on your Taupo 1000 vehicle or skid steer your trials truck, have a instantly locking/unlocking locker, partial lock, front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, one wheel drive etc
