You have multiple garage bays filled with British sports cars, and perhaps a café racer or two; the daily driver is a Tesla; and you’ve already picked up new summer-weight tweeds for the coming concours season. Well, then, you’re likely the type of Anglophile Morgan seeks for its all-electric trike roadster, the EV3—and now, for your son or daughter, there’s the Morgan EV3 Junior.
The Junior may well have better workmanship and materials than some new passenger cars. It’s entirely handmade, Morgan says, and this mini-me version of the EV3 has a carbon-fiber body, a wood dash, and a hand-stitched black or tan leather interior. You can choose from Sport Red, Sport Green, or Sport Ivory paint—or choose a color from one of Morgan’s 40,000 color cards for a small extra fee—as well as available sticker packs.
The EV3 Junior will go about 10 miles on a charge, and it’ll reach 10 mph. A recharge will take about four hours.
And now for some sticker shock, perhaps: The EV3 Junior is priced from £6662.50, plus the U.K.’s hefty 20 percent value-added tax—or about $8300 for Americans, who don’t have to pay the VAT. It’s sold through official Morgan dealerships, from the Morgan website, and at the official factory shop in Malvern Link, England.
Yes, for that money you could probably get your little guy or gal a used Nissan Leaf electric car—a real one—to play around with, not to mention pop for something like a a $499 Radio Flyer Tesla Model S or even a $300 Power Wheels Ford Mustang convertible from Walmart. But you’re not raising your child to be common.
