A petrol only car will at most have a three to five year new car sales life.
Morgan will have to do some sort of hybrid at the least in the next few years.
Agreed. I'd be amazed if MMC weren't already planning for a hybrid drive train, and surely they must have designed the CX platform to be able to accommodate batteries for a pure EV - after all, they know better than any of us which way the legislation is heading.
You would hope so. Morgan got a 6 million pound grant in 2016 toward building electric cars was to design a new platform to make EV's so the new CX platform should be that platform - the fact the other companies involved didn't produce the drive train doesn't mean Morgan shouldn't have produced the platform.
This is a quote from 2016 by Steve Morris - The money will also be used to fund development of plug-in hybrid and electric powertrains for the EV3 and the rest of the Morgan product lineup.
