Morgan EV3 Electric Car Confirmed For 2018

Morgan Motor Company has announced a technical partnership with Frazer-Nash Energy Systems as the all-electric Morgan EV3 prepares for production in 2018. First revealed in 2016, the EV3 signalled the British marque's first production entrance into the world of all-electric propulsion, following the Plus E concept in 2012. As a result of the partnership, the production EV3 will feature all-new, more robust architecture, greater levels of torque, a stiffer chassis and underslung battery beneath the skin. The production of the EV3 will begin by mid-2018 at Morgan's Pickersleigh Road factory.
