As integral part of hybrid powertrain system when paired with internal combustion engine, in-wheel electric drive system is powerful enough to be sole source of traction drive in electric vehicles (EVs). Motors reside in space behind wheels, producing up to 735 lb-ft and 100 hp exactly where and when drivers need it. Weighing 68 lb, motor has regenerative braking capabilities that allow up to 85% of available kinetic energy to be recovered during braking.
