When this thing comes out, it better not have a 40 mile range like the Chrysler, GM, Chevy, Jeep piece of crap. You know the Volt. Or else I might feel a tantrum comin' on.

@Gunny95 no ftlbs is a larger unit than Nm. while it's true a foot is smaller than a meter you forget that newton is less than 20% of poundforce.
of all the existing and upcoming electric cars not one model has in wheel motors.
the Tesla doesn't. the EV-1 didn't. the think doesn't. nor the fisker, the coda, the nissan leaf, the aptera, the loremo, the mitsubishi iMIev.
come to think of it I've never seen any car anywhere drive with in wheel motors.
only stationary concepts
I bet a series hybrid configuration could get 50 mpg in the city, and have an equal production cost as the current F-150. One has to wonder, what's the hold up?

The hold up is that PML can't get these motors to production yet. They also just got rescued from bankruptcy. No PML powered vehicle has been witnessed travelling at speed. Also cost, I read they want $35k per motor for a pre production prototype.
