A prototype of the EV platform will be shown off at CES next month.
TL;DR
- Donut Lab's electric motors, debuted at last year's CES, are being integrated into WATT Electric Vehicle Company's PACES platform.
- The PACES platform is a lightweight aluminum chassis designed for low-volume EVs.
- The initial integration features one Donut Lab motor for each rear wheel, with an all-wheel-drive variant to follow.
- The in-wheel motor design offers greater space efficiency compared to conventional EV powertrains.
- The collaboration aims to create vehicles with enhanced agility, efficiency, and driving engagement, suitable for configurations from beach buggies to sports cars and delivery vehicles.
