how many gear needed for the liad total of 250 metric ton? or simply use computer sync electric motor in every single tire

if that so, formula e equipped with dedicated electric motor in every tire should ve able to achieve 0 to 300 mph in 1 second

I like these kind of article, it's nice to throw at friend and to have them a clear and concise explanation, even if it's not in first language :)

Congrats!

(Just a though, perhaps ArenaEV should offer the choice for the user of GSMA to be 'imported' here too, it's easier than registering again, just some sql move hehe :P)

easy, 23 Apr 2022I'm a common person and I believe an EV with max speed 150 km/h and 0-100 km/h in 10 seco... moreEspecially now with new regulations coming in EU with the speed limiters fitted to all new cars becoming compulsory... That's probably a very good idea for a separate article :)

I'm a common person and I believe an EV with max speed 150 km/h and 0-100 km/h in 10 seconds is enough for me. No need for a gearbox.
