Check it out! A British firm that develop in-wheel motors have decided to make a demonstration vehicle to show what their products can achieve. They chose a Plug-in hybrid Mini to show that their system would fit in any car. Results are: 0-60 4.5s, 150 mph max, 4-wheel drive, 650 bhp peak electric, 4 hours EV mode, 1,000 km total range, 65-80 mpg when on gasoline. http://www.pmlflightlink.com/news.html http://www.pmlflightlink.com/pdfs/mini_qed1.pdf PHEV - it's the way foward!
