Is it only for hi-brid vehicles? or can be installed in internal combustion engines. The site says it was invented in 2003 or nine years ago. Still this electric motor is not coming in conventional vehicles.
Its quite old now and is meant for hybrid vehicles, you can see it has an orange wiring harness coming out from it. btw its quite freakingly expensive too.
