Can the rear outlander PHEV motor be mounted in any direction?

Post by Zapatero »

I used the search function to find this out and I'm just not a hundred percent sure, so before I start cutting and welding the subframe for the motor I'd like to ask:
Does it matter in which direction i mount the motors?
In an AWD setup, can the front motor be mounted forward and the rear motor be mounted backwards?

Do both work same in Regen mode? It all i need to do negate the torque signal for the front motor?

Thanks, Philip

Currently from testing there seems to be no limit in rotation speed, torque command limit in "forward" or "reverse" I have not yet tested
