I’ve never seen an ICE car need two engines to drive all four wheels. Why do EVs need 2 motors? Wouldn’t a transmission be cheaper than another motor?

    There is an EV company that may produce a car with 4 motors. I think It is from Sabb.

      Rivian sells both 2-motor and 4-motor versions of their trucks.

      I think the Saabs that you’re talking about were motor-in-wheel technology which is a very different thing: it is great for efficiency and packaging, but all the unsprung weight is a challenge.
