Talk Morgan Forums Community Vehicle Talk (non-Morgan) Caterham Project V

I think Caterham is absolutely heading in the right direction. They are now building the concepts for the batteries of tomorrow. Toyota has announced a completely new generation of dry batteries for 2027 to launch, half the size and half the weight, with a very long range and a charging time of just a few minutes. The time of these absolutely stupid SUVs that weigh 3.6 tons to be able to drive 380 km will be over sooner than one can look, at least that is my perception. We will see new opportunities for the niche manufacturers. The affordable bread and butter EV will come from China. But brands like Caterham and maybe Morgan, if their cost structure doesn't fall to their feet, can serve a market of individualists. People who will still enjoy driving tomorrow.
BTW, with all the digital development, it shouldn't be that difficult to program a small electric motor to simulate the character of an ICE in combination with a five-speed gearbox, a mechanical clutch and a nice sound from the loudspeaker.
