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.
