    Where did this go?! Vaporware? Let's add this to a fwd or rwd combustion engine & let's go!

    Impressive stuff! I wonder if these will come down in price and size enough for people to hybridize their personal vehicles, particularly older ones.

    This is a no-brainer product that is incredibly ideal and ripe for the picking. Tho, it's a bit surprising/dumbfounding why Magna and other capable companies/entrepreneurs aren't pursuing this with reckless abandon(?) The 1st company that offers aftermarket, bolt-on "electric motor axle kits" for light-duty trucks, will easily rake in Millions/Billions!

    Prove me wrong Protean, enough with endless press releases and offer aftermarket kits or release it on any platform...4-wheelers seem like a good first release.

    Take a front wheel drive pro master van and replace the rear axle with electric. Left dead pedal is for acceleration and breaking of the rear axle. Giggity.

    It’s such a travesty that anything electric is even 1/2 the cost of gas. It’s older technology then gas and has exactly the same moving parts as the original......1. Battery technology is the only side that has an excuse to be costly, not the motors to.
