The Moke Californian Returns To The U.S. As A Highway-Legal EV | Carscoops carscoops
The Moke is returning to the United States after an absence of 40 years, but with one with a key difference: this time, it’ll be a highway-legal EV with a top speed of 50 mph and a range of 75 miles .
The US-bound zero-emission re-imagining of the classic Mini Moke has aptly been named the Moke Californian, presumably tying in nicely with surfing culture and the state’s. The “Californian” tag also featured on a version of the original Moke, which was sold in the US from 1977–1982. The EV rendition of the Moke will be built in the UK and features a 33 kW motor that sends power to the rear wheels. With a top speed of just 50 mph the usual 0–60 mph metric is a little redundant. Instead, it’ll get to 34 mph in 4.3 seconds, which we suppose isn’t too shabby.The lithium-ion battery provides enough juice for 75 miles of running — although this is based on the somewhat optimistic WLTP cycle, meaning that EPA figures may be less.
Nor is Moke International related to Moke America, which offers a similar styled EV that tops out at 25 mph . According to the former, the two are currently engaged in a legal battle over the use of the trademark. Moke International alleges that Moke America copied their designs and that the latter’s cars do not comply with U.S. automotive legislation. The court case will be heard in January 2023.
Pricing of the Moke Californian hasn’t yet been announced for America, but in the UK is offered at a starting price of £29,150, which equates to approximately $33,000.
