The British automaker, Morris Garages, recently confirmed to release a mass-market electric vehicle for the public which would be easier on the pocket and was promised to be the cheapest electric vehicle to go on sale in the Indian Homelands. It is suspected that Morris Garages is currently working to develop a two-door EV for the same purpose.
As per the reports, this two-door electric vehicle would be a super small four-seater EV designed for local commute and would be called the MG E230. It is being developed to be sold globally, but would also find a place in the Indian Morris Garages EV portfolio.

Morris Garages has received an overwhelming response in terms of sales for the MG ZS EV, which is one of the first electric vehicles to be offered in the Indian consumer market. Thus, the brand has high aspirations with the E230 and would ensure for this EV to fall under the Rs. 10 lakh segment so as to top the sales volume figures. This EV would be based on SAIC - GM - Wuling's Global Small Electric Vehicle (GSEV) architecture platform which is robust enough and is currently in use in plenty of vehicles like the Baojun E100, E200, E300, E300 Plus and the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV which is one of the derivates for the Chinese markets.
The MG E230 is suspected to retain the boxy design language of the vehicles based on the same platform, and thus is likely to be dimensionally smaller than the Datsun Redi - GO and Maruti Suzuki Alto, but would be featuring a longer wheelbase when compared to the Chinese derivate. This cute little two-door EV is expected to be powered by a 20 kW motor coupled with a 20 kWh battery and a driving range of 150 km.
