O.K. can't find the pics, but lets put it this way.

Recently found out about Amp Electric Vehicles which is located in Cincinnati, Ohio......right next door to me.
They sell a few vehicles, one of which is a Chevy Equinox, which is powered by two ac motors direct drive. They have the motors latched together mounted in place of the differential each powering a rear wheel.

What I want to find out is this. How are they arranged? They cannot possibly be doing this without some kind of reduction, but two motors side by side each connected to a separate drive shaft to each rear wheel. I don't see how there is room enough for a reduction gear.

They claim a top speed of 90mph and a range of 150 miles while costing less than 50 grand.

Interesting to say the least. Thank you for finding that picture, I don't remember where it was I saw it. I would love to tour their facility. I live in Columbus, Ohio. They are in Cincinnati, so they are really close. Setup may or may not be to complicated for DIYers, but it would surely be prohibitively expensive for most of us.
I would like to know myself how they kept the price down under 50 thousand dollars.
