How does rear wheel drive help range in an electric vehicle? There are no front fuel pumps like in an internal combustion motor and it already has front motors inbuilt?

@Cloxxki

27 күн бұрын

It might be more effiicient that driving the front wheels. Also, having multiple motors can reduce heat buildup and associated losses. Providing motors can also coast without resistance, with or without clutch disconnect. In early Teslas, the rear motor was a strong inefficient one. The dual motor got an extra on the front that was way more efficient, making the AWD cars got further on the same battery. Modern Teslas also got more efficient motors in the back, so it didn't help AQDs anymore vs the RWD offerings.

In any case, other than the press vehicles, no other G will ever see dirt below its wheels. Too expensive and fancy for off roading.

460km for a vehicle that is basically a brick. That's not bad. Am curious if it'll actually get that range though.

It's like going for the 575hp supercharged V8 in a new Defender, but sticking it in a base version with those awesome steelies.

The G wagon is one of the cars that could actually benefit from an EV. Most people that use them are moms and making a family car more quiet and smooth is not something I'd complain about. Plus, it will make it a more dynamic off roader with all the electronics
