Electric Morgan Three-Wheeler under consideration

By Ronan Glon Published November 7, 2014

The funky Three-Wheeler (pictured) has been an unexpected hit for England’s Morgan Motors. Initially introduced as a low-volume model designed to commemorate the company’s 100th birthday, the Three-Wheeler has gradually become the British company’s best-seller.

To continue building on that success, Morgan is reportedly considering introducing a new variant of the Three-Wheeler powered by an electric drivetrain. If built, the battery-powered Three-Wheeler would be the first regular-production Morgan in the company’s illustrious 104-year history.

While Morgan has not published technical details, the Three-Wheeler is a good candidate to receive an electric drivetrain because of its pint-sized dimensions and feather-light weight. The gas-powered Three-Wheeler tips the scale at just 1,212 pounds.

Morgan has not revealed when it will decide whether or not to build the electric Three-Wheeler. If launched, the car will be sold in a handful of markets across Europe but it will likely not make its way to the United States.

Morgan has never built an electric vehicle but it briefly toyed around with the idea when it presented the Plus E Concept at the 2012 edition of the Geneva Motor Show. Based on the Plus 8, the Plus E was fitted with an electric motor that sent 160 horsepower and 280 lb-ft. of torque to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. A lithium-ion battery pack provided the electric roadster with a maximum driving range of about 160 miles.

The Wild West era of robotaxis is starting to end

New global rules could replace patchwork regulation with stricter safety proof for driverless fleets.

Robotaxi rules have entered their first global phase. A UN vehicle standards forum has adopted the first international framework for fully autonomous vehicles, giving driverless fleets a common safety baseline across major markets.

The move lands while robotaxis are expanding from test programs into a bigger commercial race. In the US and China, private fleets more than doubled in 2025 to 8,000 vehicles across more than two dozen major cities.

Android Auto is finally getting Google Meet, months after the video conferencing app made its debut on Apple CarPlay. Android users can now pull up scheduled meetings and dial recent contacts straight from their car's display instead of reaching for their phone.

Waymo’s robotaxis keep finding new things to drive into, and construction zones are the latest

Thirteen construction zone incidents, one fleet recall, and a passenger who thought the end was near.

Waymo has recalled its entire fleet of nearly 4,000 robotaxis to prevent them from driving on highways after identifying at least 13 instances where its vehicles drove straight into highway sections closed for construction.

This is the company's sixth recall in under a year, and follows separate incidents involving flooded roads, telephone poles, chains and gates, towed trucks, and school buses.
