There are several advantages with two motors -no long drive shaft with separate dif necessary -in a low power cruise one motor can be disengaged almost completely. Reduced drag = more range. -The handling of the vehicle can be improved by controlling the torque on each motor independently. -no need to change all tires all at once like it is the case with AWD vehicles with a driveshaft (tires have to be exactly the same diameter bc they are mechanical coupled and would otherwise start to rub and wear out fast) -Redundancy. If one motor fails, you can often still drive with the other one.

There are already manufacturers which make light vehicles with a maximum speed of 45 kph power by gas or diesel. Ligier and Aixam are two of them. Aixam even has a electric version, but it is more expensive than the Amie. They are quite popular in Italy and Spain if I’m correct. I’m just wondering how they are doing now considering a big OEM starts cutting into their market segment. I’m afraid they can’t compete with their low quantities.
