A reliable source insider tell's me that Caterham are presently working on an electric 7. Not sure how far advanced this is, but I'm told it's in engineering.

Watch this space.

I agree it sounds real exciting. I’m guess weight is going to be the challenge.

The great thing about a Caterham is that range is not particularly important for most people. With their light weight, 150 or 200 miles should not be that hard to configure (more than enough for most blats).
If they did this, and did it right, they would have 'banks' of batteries that could be purchased to achieve the customers desired weight or range and they would be locatable in different spots to achieve various weight distributions.

It's a pity they 'don't to technology' because there is plenty of scope for really cool innovation. wink
...That's the problem with restrictive marketing slogans: you paint yourself into a corner unnecessarily. 'We do RAW' (for example) would have provided the same positive message, while allowing for all future technological direction change without having to back-track on a previous message.
YES...Put much better than I could have said. When I tried the same thing I got shot down. "You know it makes sense Rodney"
