I have seen lots of posts and ads about using hub motors to power a car. I am looking to hear from someone who has actually done it. Have you?

Also...why is it so slow in catching on? In theory it seems like a great idea - can trash the engine as well as the tranny and all related "stuff".

I am hoping to pick up an old Dodge Caravan and convert it to electric. I would love to use hub motors. If it were useful it would simplify the conversion....don't have to worry about adapters to the tranny, etc and would help balance the weight in the car.
