Morgan EV3

Looks kind of interesting and almost a bit steampunk.

Could be a good marketing leap-frog into a modern niche. Their product is well positioned for this.

Has the Stig done a lap yet?

Apparently the way to make skinny efficient tires look cool is wire spoke wheels- I hope this has a cascade effect and we see pre-war styled EVs from all of the major manufacturers.

Or narrow wire wheels on a Prius.

I like it. A range of 150 miles seems pretty good for a car like that.

I can see how they can get great range and power out if it without a lot of weight.. there is nothing to it. No heat, no entertainment, not even a windscreen or wipers. The battery only has to power lights and motor.

Does look very steampunk (and cool). I do see kind of a windscreen...

Not sure I'd want to do 90 mph in it though!

It looks like they have the same marvelous front suspension.

20kWH battery. Holy tar is that a big battery, but you could do 175-200 in range on that thing if you kept the speed down.

Double wishbone with coilovers...Morgan dropped the sliding pillar suspension from the modern 3-wheelers.

I do have to say, I like the electric 3-wheeler in both concept and overall appearance...The offset headlight is a bit odd, but still somehow kind of fits with the character of the car too.

I really can imagine driving something like that much further anyway. I'm sure it's a blast, but looks like it could get tiring after a while.

So how much more does it cost over the gas powered one?
