Elaphe / Slovenia: makes drop-in / in-wheel electric motors

 Aptera Motors has teamed with Elaphe Propulsion Technologies Aptera is targeting an electric three-wheeler that will travel more than 1,000 miles on a single charge with an energy usage of less than 100 Wh/mile.  The Elaphe L1500 in-wheel motor achieves the highest torque densities of electric motors on the market, generating 1500 N·m of torque without using any gears. In recent track testing, Elaphe achieved a sub 3.5 sec 0-100 km/h acceleration time.
