Here’s an interesting point in my case to prove that electric vehicles are cool. This is the Green Rock Dawg. It’s a rock crawler that has hydraulically actuated legs and electric motors driving each wheel. The hydraulics can be run electrically or with a small gas engine. The wheelbase, track width and ride height all have extreme ranges of adjustment and each wheel can be steered individually. It’s basically a robot spider truck that works because of the flexibility offered by the placement of the electric drive motors.
