It's constantly charging through the wheels, no?

1,528 lb-ft of torque

kinda like mining trucks that use similar technology, though they have big-ass diesels to generate the electricity required for the motors.....

could be, I just skimmed over the article looking for the word "range" so I could have missed that.

I don't think it directly stated it. But I'm guessing that they should have a direct link up with the wheels. If you put the motors in the wheels, you could use the magnetic junk being created by the movement of the motors to recharge the batteries (of course I'm only stating that would make the most sense, probably far from the cheapest way to go.)

Yea. The man who popularized the electric motor/wheel combo was R.G. LeTourneau. LeTourneau Inc. makes the world's largest loaders, and they all use the electric motor in wheel combo. I went to the LeTourneau University, a school he founded to help train his factory workers, now its a full university. Pretty cool stuff, I've toured the factory. The scale of the equipment is just mind-boggling.

Unfortunately electric cars are just no there yet. This is a big step, but still know where close to where they need to be.

Contrary to the guy that wrote that article, 1528 lb-ft of torque is not as good as it may sound. This is torque applied directly at the wheels. It doesn't have the torque multiplying effect of a transmission. The Evo has a first gear ratio of 2.909 and the final drive is 4.529 for an overall ratio of 13.2. The gasoline Evo IX delivers 286 lb-ft maximum of torque at the flywheel, so in first gear it delivers a total of 13.2 x 289 = 3815 lb-ft to the wheels... way better than the electric, but only in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear.
