Yeah. We'll see where that goes. I got another reply from Orbis. The video is interesting.

The measurements [torque & HP] are taken after the gear reduction on a dyno that measures AWD.


The motors, gearboxes, brake parts all in have been durability tested extensively and meet all requisite standards (OEM).


But as the OEMs are focused for the time being on copying the Tesla e-axle (also known as P4 in automotive terms) Orbis is entering market in 2022 with a small delivery van that utilizes the inherent advantages of our patented “P5”.

At some point when the benefits of P5 are better understood, we’ll migrate what we’ve produced for the van directly into the OEM and performance aftermarket channels.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
