    Hub motors are pretty rare in the EV (car) space actually.

    Lordstown Endurance had a hub motors on each wheel. Almost all of those were bought back and scrapped. Aptera had hub motors in the initial design specs, but last I heard, that fell through and they are doing inboard motors with a continuous 2 speed transmission and driveshafts.

    Teslas has various multi-motor layouts, but none of them are hubs as far as I can remember.

    Mach E has 1 motor standard, 2 and motors on the GT.
