The Morgan EV3 Junior — Morgan Motor Company

GENEVA, Feb 8 — The latest hand-built Morgan car is equal parts cool and cute and has been designed specifically to get the drivers of tomorrow excited about electric cars today.

In Geneva in 2016 Morgan’s first electric car — the EV3 — stole the show and exactly a year later the eccentric British carmaker is at it again, but this time it’s looking to steal hearts with the EV3 Junior.

Just like the EV3, this new three-wheel car from Morgan is battery-powered, hand-built from the ground up, has a wooden dashboard and even boasts a hand-stitched quilted leather interior.

However, while the EV3 can travel 150 miles on a single charge and hit 100km/h in 8.0 seconds, this car’s range has been significantly scaled down, but so has every other one of its aspects.

And that’s because, as the name suggests, the EV3 Junior is aimed at the next generation of Morgan owners.

Built to accommodate a driver aged six or older, the car’s top speed is just 16km/h. However, that’s partly because strict UK laws dictate that if a vehicle is capable of travelling faster than 24km/h, it can only be driven on the road, can only be driven with a licence, and can only be driven with insurance.

Still, the three-wheeler is good for 10 miles (16km) between charges and the batteries should be topped up and ready to go again within four hours.

As standard, the car will be offered in a choice of three colours — Sport Red; Sport Green; or Sport Ivory, while the interior can be trimmed in black or tan leather. However, if you want something truly unique, Morgan will let you pick and mix a shade from its 40,000-color palette.

It also comes with a set of stickers and decals — very popular options on the full-size three-wheeler — however, these can be applied, removed and re-applied as the owner’s tastes change.

What’s more, despite its diminutive size, it is a proper Morgan, will be hand-built to each client’s specifications alongside its big brother at the same production facility, and will come with a 12-month warranty. Prices will start at £6,662.50 before taxes and the order books open today.

Morgan are pleased to announce the new EV3 Junior

This exciting new vehicle is aimed at children aged 6 years and over. The EV Junior is a fully electric replica of the EV3 and is capable of 16kph. Each unit will be bespoke built to order with flexible colour and trim levels. Prices start at £6,662.50 + VAT

In 2016 Morgan announced their first production electric vehicle.

Capable of 100mph and 0-60 in 8 seconds, and still entirely coach-built, the EV3 has received great acclaim from motoring press and enthusiasts alike following its launch at the Geneva Motor Show.

Morgan continues to celebrate this new chapter in their manufacturing history by announcing the arrival of the EV3 Junior targeting aspiring young Morgan owners!

The EV3 Junior is entirely handmade and features a carbon fibre body, wooden dashboard and hand stitched leather interior.

The EV3 Junior is capable of travelling at 16kph forward and in reverse at a limited speed. A choice of Sport Red, Sport Green or Sport Ivory paint, with black or tan leather, is offered as standard. Any paint colour from Morgan’s range of 40,000 can also be selected at a small cost. Further personalisation is offered with fun sticker packs which can be re-applied as desired.

Other features include working lights and authentic enamel badge detailing. Charging is carried out by the charger provided and takes 4 hours. An average range of 10 miles can be achieved depending on driving style.

Morgan cars are known for being lightweight and small, however the EV3 Junior is smaller than most and therefore is only suitable for children over the age of 6. The EV3 Junior is fully CE certified.

Each EV3 Junior is supplied with a handbook and a 12-month warranty.
