A very Morgan take on the EV revolution will be revealed at Goodwood next week. Called the EV3 it's the second time Morgan has explored electric power, the first being the typically quirky
Plus E
revealed a couple of years back and displayed at the
2012 Geneva show
Salt flat racer style looks good!
First reintroduced in 2011, the 3 Wheeler was something of a surprise hit and the EV3 hopes to carry that spirit into the world of zero emissions vehicles with production apparently commencing as soon as next year. Will the character of the 3 Wheeler survive the loss of its trademark 2.0-litre V-twin motor though? That engine's lazy 82hp has 525kg to haul while the EV3 has 102hp from rear-mounted electric motor and weighs just 450kg. Should be pretty sprightly then, not to mention rather smoother and more refined. Range is claimed to be "approximately" 150 miles. Which, given the lack of creature comforts, sounds about fine.
More when we see the car in the metal next weekend...
