But if the world was tending towards electric cars and a good motor was available, he would be quite open to the idea of using it while preserving the general appearance of the car.
No doubt Morgans would be able to continue their policy of producing cars with a high power-to-weight ratio unit even if they were powered by batteries, for the car would still remain that much lighter than most of it's competitors.
However it is difficult to see electric cars becoming at all widespread until the battery as we know it today has been revolutionized..."

So in fifty years I am still waiting for the revolutionary battery that will persuade me that Hydrogen is not the future that I'm happy to wait for as the real alternative, meantime I have ensured both our ICE cars provide plenty of smiles along the way and enjoy them to the full 190 bhp from each car is enough for me and the good lady thumbs .

Well the Morgan Life Car is no longer in the MMC museum, so perhaps it's being developed further ?
