The largest EV fast charging station in the nation opened this week in Pasadena, California. The new station is comprised of 24 Tesla Superchargers and 20 of Tritium’s DC fast chargers.

"When we go to market, we'll have one-motor, two-motor, three-motor versions, offering different ranges, different performance at different price points to meet the customers' needs whatever they may be," Reuss told dealers, according to  Automotive News Europe . That's right: One version of the EV truck will have three motors, suggesting that one of the axles will have one motor, while another axle will have two  hub  motors.
