I know it's asking a lot of you to READ the article, but maybe you can just pay someone to read it to you...

The article isn't referring to the California emokes which are NEV, but it refers to 2 manufacturers who are offering different versions that ARE rated for roadway use

snippet below

...New full speed 120kmh/75mph electric Mokes

That brings us to this week’s auto show where there was not one but two companies advertising new electric Mokes that are capable of 120kmh speeds with significant range and street legal chops.

The first company I visited calls themselves EMokeGroup and has been selling the Chinese version mentioned above in France for quite some time. Their new product is called the JumMoke and it will be built in France (or at least assembled) and fully road compliant to 120kmh/75mph speeds.

Additionally, this Moke has a more raised suspension, AWD on bigger, thicker wheels and a stated range of 200km or about 125 miles. That’s impressive when you look at the aerodynamics of the Moke, but I imagine that city driving will still be more of the norm than highway.

...

Not to be outdone, at a booth about 100 meters away, Moke International which makes petrol versions of the Mini Moke and lays claims to its British heritage also unveiled its own 120kmh Moke.

Details were slim on this one but it appears to be more of a conversion with 44kW (Peak 80kW) Elaphe in-wheel motors (I snagged a spec sheet and included it below) with a 22kWh 100V battery. The range on this one is 50km less at 150km total, but might be more realistic....

I have heard that the remaining stocks of Chongqing Mokes are up for sale.  So if you looking for 23 Moke bodies in varying condition, then you know where to go.

Note the huge accumulation of rainwater that has collected in the green sheeting above the white Moke.  When that finally pops it will certainly help the floor to rust.

Also note the rusty headlamp rims - BC was right.  Roger
That is a pitiful sight even if they are Chokes.

The early Chokes had the same issues along with anything electrical and weak paint as i am sure you know Bill. Rear brakes are easy just convert it all to stock Mini and be done but the electrics and wiring colours had a lot to be desired.
By the time they get to the 3rd generation of these (if they last that long) they may be decent but only really practical for anywhere you would drive a golf cart imo.

If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.
