The Electric MOKE Mk2 made its debut at the Paris Motor Show this week, as MOKE International unveiled the next generation of its all-electric beach car with increased range, faster charging and a host of new features aimed at open-air adventure.
Crafted in Britain and admired in the world’s sunniest locations, the new Electric MOKE retains the character that has made it an icon while adding practicality for the next generation of drivers.
“The new Electric MOKE Mk2 has been designed to make open-air electric driving easier, more enjoyable and more practical than ever, while retaining the distinctive character that has made MOKE an icon for generations,” said Lorne Vary, Chief Executive Officer at MOKE International. “Time spent in a MOKE is about living life to the full, embracing the moment and enjoying the freedom to explore. This latest evolution, the MOKE Mk2 delivers a more refined ownership experience while staying true to the sense of fun, adventure and optimism that defines our brand.”
More range and faster charging
A higher capacity battery delivers a WLTP range of up to 170km (105 miles) on a single charge, with real-world testing in city and coastal environments returning as much as 185km (115 miles). A new vehicle layout improves weight distribution and handling, with power from a 33 kW electric motor.
Charging is handled by a 6.6kW onboard charger that can take the battery from 20 to 80 percent capacity in two hours, and the charging port has been relocated to the rear of the vehicle for a cleaner appearance.
More practical, more connected
A roomy 86-litre lockable front storage compartment provides easily accessible space for everyday essentials, luggage and leisure gear, freeing up the cabin for passengers. Key controls are grouped on a central control panel with a rotary gear selector and improved warning light visibility, while USB-C connectivity, a 12V power outlet, rear cup holders and wider footwells complete the package.
New colours, flexible ownership
European buyers now have access to the widest range of colours yet. The California Collection, previously exclusive to the USA, brings Sonoma Red, Laguna Blue and Venice White, joining the Original Colour Collection of Wave Blue, Sunlight Yellow and Sunset Orange and the Earth Naturals shades of Shell White, Eucalyptus Green and Palm Green.
The Electric MOKE Mk2 is available to test drive, rent or buy in several European markets, with an RRP of â¬35,000. It is on display on the MOKE International stand, Hall 7.1 stand B01, at the Paris Motor Show through 18 October.
