Last month we revealed that the Morgan Motor Company, maker of classic-looking (and in some cases classically built) sports cars plans to electrify its line up. At the Geneva auto show it took the wraps off the first of those electric vehicles, called the EV3.
It's based on the company's 3 Wheeler, a fun and back-to-basics sports car that normally gets its power from a two-cylinder bike engine. Instead of the motor from S&S, the EV3 has a 61hp/46kW electric motor and a 20kWh lithium ion battery pack.
That gives the EV3 a quite respectable range of 150 miles (241km). Top speed is said to be over 90 mph (144km/h) and 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) takes about nine seconds. That might not seem like much but given the bare-bones nature of the EV3, we're pretty sure it's more than sufficient for back road thrills.
