MOKE International has introduced extended-range electric beach cars with its new Electric MOKE Mk2, giving drivers greater freedom to explore coastal destinations without frequent charging stops. Building on the original electric model, the upgraded vehicle combines a larger battery with improved weight distribution for better handling while preserving its recognizable open-air design.
The Electric MOKE Mk2 delivers up to 170km of WLTP driving range and can recharge from 20% to 80% in approximately two hours under specified conditions. An 86-liter lockable front compartment provides additional luggage space, while redesigned controls and wider footwells improve everyday convenience.
For MOKE International, these upgrades could attract buyers seeking recreational electric vehicles with greater practicality. Priced at €35,000 before local taxes and incentives, the Mk2 also offers rental and test-drive options, creating additional opportunities to reach customers across European markets.
