Hub motors could likely survive in urban driving.
75mph pot holes and other high speed driving appears to destroy them.
But then you are spending money on a car that's 15 years newer than my leaf, costs close to the same and is less capable. Might as well spend $5000 more and get a car that can carry more people and cargo and go on the highway.
