Meet EV Seven, Caterham's electric ‘toe in the water’
► EV Seven project is a ‘toe in the water’, revealing this: the EV Seven. But, before you jump to conclusions, the brand is keen to stress that it’s merely investigating the deployment of an electric powertrain in its future cars.
‘There is the potential that we won’t be able to sell ICE cars in certain markets because they’ll be banned, and if that’s a market that we sell a huge volume of cars in, then we need to find an alternative.’ The 51kWh battery pack fits in the nose and runs through the centre console of the car, linked to a Swindon Powertrain HPDE e-Axle and single-speed two-stage reduction transmission. Power is rated at 240bhp and 184lb ft, good for a four-second 0-60mph time and a top speed of 130mph.
Other performance details include a limited-slip differential, adjustable Bilstein dampers from a Seven 420 Cup and Avon ZZR tyres.
