I don't need video(s) to understand the subject here : I just use an image search :

This is a mechanical device that allows coupling of any wheels of any vehicles to any electric motor.

it is designed in such a way to permit vertical movement of the wheel without the need of such movement of the motor. So basically it is a new type of suspension.

Since it needs many gears in a row for the transit of mechanical energy it will incure an inefficiency factor.

EV already have much smaller gearboxes, because they don't need to shift.

Now they need 4 of them, not just 1.

Such a gain in weight :-)
