I was thinking along the same line of using 1 motor per axle; but we lose the redundancy. Plus, I was trying to minimize the number of different motors and support systems to shorten the supply chain.

I think my original concept (not posted) was one 192kW (258hp), 429Nm motor, drawing 118kW per axle vice hub. This meant using a 250kW fusion plant for the 4x4s but that's probably manageable. The 6x6 variants would then need 350kW plants or down-sized motors.

This would be so much easier if BEM had brought back mature plans for Inductance Energy Corp.'s Earth Engine, which uses magnetic propulsion to generate energy.
