AAH #194 - A Billion Cars on the Road Today, a Billion More on the Way

The idea of hub motors takes conventional car thinking and turns it
on its head. Instead of one centrally located motor that drives
some or all of the wheels, the motors are the wheels. Protean
Electric thinks it has the formula to make EVs work, and this week
we'll talk to the man with the plan, Chairman and CEO Bob Purcell.
We'll be asking Bob when to expect the first vehicle rolling off
the line equipped with Protean hub motors. Of course we'll also get
into the hot topics of the week including slowing car sales in the
U.S., GM and Chrysler's sour earnings and more. Joining John
McElroy in studio is co-host Peter De Lorenzo, the Autoextremist,
and Gary Vasilash from Automotive Design and Production.
