He will figure it out eventually Frank. Direct drive EVs need motors that are too large and they can't regenerate 30% of any decelerative energy, without some way to raise the motors RPM.

A 60-0 panic stop only takes about 20-25 revolutions of the wheels, he can't explain how you are going to pack 600 HP seconds of energy into a chemical battery in 25 revolutions of an electric motor generator unless its as big as a power plant, and the battery weighs several tons. He will avoid the point by saying you should never have to panic stop.
