Plug In India

As more and more of us put solar panels on our roofs, we can move away from our grid driven AC to battery driven DC lights and appliances. So LTO is good for petrol-battery hybrid cars, which end up having relatively small batteries. When you have windings on the inside, like you do in a hub motor, heat evacuation is difficult.
