Yes, electric traction will eventually dominate the final drive.
Everything will be digital, stepper motors providing traction with abs, asc, etc. Dynamic breaking will be used to recover energy.
A smorgasboard of power sources will initially feed these motors, battery, diesel and gas electric gen sets, fuel cells, fusion reactor cells, etc.
The new Triton glx-w will fly up to 400km.
The biggest benefit will be the weight saving, no diffs, gearboxes and heavy motors.
The negatives - more govt control of your vehicle, your steering could be overridden if you attempt access to an unauthorised track, cars pulls off the road and shuts down if the rego is overdue, a counter on the dash will show your current bill for road use based on time, road category, vehicle type, etc, brave new world! Be careful what you wish for.
