<\/div>\n

The UK’s Morgan Motor Company is best known for making new cars that look like old cars. Not only that, but barring a false start with an electric take on the Three Wheeler, the EV3<\/a>, it’s all gas, all the time. Perhaps that won’t be the case forever, as it’s revealed its latest development vehicle, XP-1: a Super 3 with an electric heart.<\/p>\n

Where the production Super 3 has a 1.5 L Ford three-cylinder engine under the hood, XP-1 gets a 33 kWh battery pack hooked up to a 136 hp (100 kW) 251lb-ft (340 Nm) electric motor that sits in the transmission tunnel. It weighs 132 lbs (60 kg) more than the gas car and comes with a lot<\/em> more torque.<\/p>\n

A happy side effect of that weight is a real-world economy of about 4 miles\/kWh (15.5 kWh\/100 km), giving a non-homologated range of roughly 132 miles\/212 km). Oh, and Morgan’s thrown in fast charging\u2014up to 50kW\u2014so it can get itself a full charge in less than an hour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
