The Morgan EV3, looking at the world of zero emissions motoring from an entirely different perspective. \u2018What if an all-electric vehicle was bespoke made, hand crafted and exhilarating to drive?\u2019 The EV3 embraces new technology, delivers responsible driving excitement and continues to celebrate traditional British motor manufacturing. Following a soft launch of the Phase 1 EV3 mule vehicle in 2015, Morgan is excited to showcase the final \u2018pre-production phase\u2019 car which reveals the restyled body and interior. Weighing less than 500kg, the all-electric 3 Wheeler has a range of 150 miles.<\/p>\n
Lightweight agility is complemented by performance figures that challenge those of the internal combustion 3 Wheeler. Early indications suggest a minimum 0-62mph time of less than 9 seconds and a top speed in excess of 90mph. Encased within the tubular space frame chassis is a 20KWh Lithium Battery and a liquid cooled 46kW motor driving the rear wheel.<\/p>\n
The EV3 is the first Morgan vehicle to utilise composite carbon panels in its body construction. The carbon bonnet, tonneau cover and side pods are made in the UK, and much like the remaining aluminium panels, are hand worked over an ash wood frame. Taking inspiration from 1930\u2019s aero-engine race cars, classic motorcycles and 1950\u2019s fantasy automatons, the face of the EV3 is designed to function. Brass conductive cooling fins encase the batteries and an off-centre tri-bar headlight adds to the overall asymmetry of the design.<\/p>\n
The EV3 will go into production in the fourth quarter of 2016 will be priced comparably to the petrol 3 Wheeler. This launch coincides with an announcement that the Morgan Motor Company will receive government funding towards a \u00a36m consortium based project developing future hybrid and full EV Morgan vehicles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
