Why not mount the electric motors in the hubs and save having to wast the energy to turn the gears?
Suddenly 4 wheel drive electric car - each motor does not have to be so "beefy" and get the same power (or more power) to the ground

Loss of one motor may mean you make an immediate turn... However, there are hydrostatic drive systems like that but they're quite heavy.. I imagine with enough circuitry and logic you could make a 4wd electric car work...
