Renault Morphoz EV is the best innovation that we never seen
before because this car can transform. The car lengthens by 40cm, which allows an
extra battery pack to be inserted under the car for both its range and power to
increase for longer trips. The long version also gives passengers more legroom
and space for bags in the back.
Let's talk about Renault Morphoz EV!!
What is the Renault Morphoz?
Renault has a recent history of releasing
concept cars: from the Trezor two-seater coupe at the 2016 Paris show; to the
RS 2027 future F1 car at the 2017 Shanghai show; to the Symbioz self-driving
concept at the 2018 Frankfurt show; and a trio of eco/mobility cars - the
EZ-Go, EZ-Pro, EZ-Ultimo - shown at the 2018 Paris show.
The Morphoz is the fifth car in this concept
series, with a focus on "providing exactly what you need at the time you
need it," according to François Leboine, Renault's Design Concept Cars
Director, in an interview with Pocket-lint.
The Morphoz is built on the CMF EV modular
platform, co-created with Nissan, which represents generation 2.0 of the
company's electric vehicles. Of course, you won't see the Morphoz on the road
any time soon - if at all - but it is built upon real technology, which will be
the footprint of some future Renault and Nissan vehicles.
What is EV of Morphoz no other EV car?
Renault has recently released its latest concept
EV called the Morphoz EV. This concept car's main unique feature is
its ability to literally transform to prepare it for city or long-distance
journeys.
The EV, when in "city" mode, sports a 40 kWh the battery that is "good" for 90% of most
people's driving in cities and suburbs. But for the remaining 10% of
journeys out of the city, the car is able to stretch to "Travel"
mode.
This longer incarnation of the vehicle allows for the
installation of a larger 50 kWh battery extender. The larger
battery addition can be installed at special stations through a flap in the
bottom of the Morphoz within seconds.
Where do the batteries go?
Now, you might be wondering how the
range-extending battery finds its way into the Morphoz. Renault's concept here
is to step well beyond the norm of a full-time built-in battery, creating a
wider ecosystem.
"The Morphoz is the tip of the
iceberg," says Leboine when introducing the automated loading/unloading
concept. The idea is for a loading station to contain batteries connected to a
wider network, where they can provide energy when not in-vehicle use, which can
then be loaded into or out of the vehicle.
That might sound far-fetched, but it's already a reality in China: EV-maker Nio offers battery-swap stations for some of its
cars, fitted in as little as three minutes. This also removes the depreciation
of battery life over time, as the company can introduce new, fresh cells into
the system.
The Morphoz comes with some other cool futuristic features
Being a concept car, the Morphoz also comes
with some other interesting futuristic features. For example, it is able to
detect its passengers and the driver and shift the cabin around to make them
feel more comfortable.
The steering wheel can also retract enabling the opening up of a "living
screen" instrument panel showing driver and infotainment systems. This is
much like the current Honda E which
actually has a similar system in production.
The Morphoz also lacks a center "B" pillar providing tons of extra internal space. Because of this passengers "can behave as if they were sitting in armchairs around a table," Renault added.

Obviously, this is still a concept car and
many of its features will likely never arrive in an actual production model --
like the retractable steering wheel for example. But, some of the ideas it
introduced, including the modular platform, long wheelbase, and the flat floor
will likely feature in future generations of Renault EVs.
Exciting stuff!
