Moke International has announced the first deliveries of the new all-electric Moke, manufactured in the UK, ready for a glorious summer of open-air motoring

A new chapter begins as electric Moke hits the road for summer

"Moke is all about country roads, beach excursions, the summer breeze in your hair and enjoying the journey, rather than hurrying from A to B. We've taken the original Mini Moke, created by Sir Alec Issigonis and reimagined it for today's world - and tomorrow's - as a fully electric vehicle.

"In recent times, petrol-powered Mokes have been championed by everyone from Kate Moss to George Russell. Our team has been working relentlessly for three years to engineer and manufacture a worthy, sustainable successor with the latest technologies. Made in Britain, the Electric Moke is now ready to inspire and delight a new generation."

Customers in the UK will receive their new cars from June through Moke's official UK distributor, Hendy Group, heralding a highly anticipated return to the road for this much-loved British motoring icon. The first Electric Moke vehicles will be officially handed over to customers in France around the same time.

Perfect partners

This summer also sees the launch of major new partnerships bringing the Moke experience to locations that perfectly reflect the car's unique character. For guests at Beaverbrook, the quintessentially English country house estate, the Moke Electric's whisper-quiet, sustainable drivetrain makes it the ideal companion for savouring the peaceful countryside and secluded lanes of the Surrey Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the south of England.

And on the Côte d'Azur, with its local partners, Moke is opening its first official experience centre, "Casa Moke" in Saint-Tropez, building towards its vision to become the world's most loved beach lifestyle brand. International clients of luxury real-estate company Bo-House and Tardieu Immobilier will have access to an exclusive monthly subscription package. This allows them to enjoy the freedom and joy of driving an Electric Moke while in residence, without the administrative commitments of outright ownership. The battery has sufficient range (120km) for at least three round trips from Cap-Ferrat to Monaco, at a suitably leisurely 80km/h.

The spirit of summer

Summer is when the Electric Moke truly comes into its own as the ultimate countryside and beach cruiser. The fully electric powertrain offers enhanced performance and effortless driveability, free of noise pollution. With a typical range of around 75 miles, the Moke is eminently suitable for days at the beach, country picnics and other summer activities: a rapid charge time of just four hours (from a mains charger) ensures it's always ready for the next adventure.
