Hyundai Ioniq 5 Becomes Powerhouse on Ice with In-Hub Motors
Elaphe, a Slovenian company, is installing its innovative in-hub motor technology into various electric vehicle projects, including Hyundai's Ioniq 5, transforming it into a monster on ice.
Elaphe, a Slovenian company, is at the forefront of in-hub motor technology, which has been around since the early days of electric vehicles. These compact, in-wheel motors have been used in various applications, including e-bikes, but they've never truly gone mainstream in the automotive industry - until now.
After the demise of Lordstown Motors' electric pickup truck, the Endurance, which was set to feature Elaphe's in-hub motors, the Slovenian company has found a new partner in Hyundai. The result is a transformed Ioniq 5, a humble electric vehicle that has become a powerhouse on ice, thanks to the added traction and agility provided by Elaphe's innovative technology.
