Electra, an All-Electric Vehicle with In-Wheel Motors
The Electra by Raymundo Burgueno is an all-electric vehicle for the year 2021. Featuring electric motors in all four wheels to allow in-wheel drive, the concept car also includes a huge battery to power the wheels.
The battery, big enough to go for up to 600 miles, is placed in the middle and as low as possible for a nice low center of gravity. One of the main reasons it can travel so far is its low drag coefficient. The under body of the car covers the wheels and chassis and guides the air through car and out the back where it meets up with the air passing along the top surface. Its wing hides at slow speed to lower the drag and pop up at high speed, when it needs the extra down force.
