It’s also designed and built “with integrated roll protection and falling object protection” and the exterior is painted with “an incredibly high resistance paint” (Upol Raptor® Paint) to withstand being in harsh environments. The MK_1 has a huge cargo area and easily removable second row seating to expand that cargo space, plus lockable “Side Saddle Storage” at the front for tools, equipment, toys, or lunch, so it’s not short on internal capacity. Available in three different versions - Utility, Range, and Performance - ranging from £59,994 (~$72,256) to £83,994 (~$101,162), the MK_1 offers a variety of features sure to suit a number of needs in a workhorse vehicle. So with that in mind (and because I’m in the target audience for an EV which is built for some serious working and hauling, and not just a glorified grocery-getter), let’s meet the Munro MK_1. ![]() But when considering all the working vehicles on the roads all day (and often through the night), from 18-wheelers to commercial trucks and vans, and the fact that most passenger cars are just sitting parked most of the day, we really ought to view commercial vehicles from a climate impact and pollution standpoint, in which case they out-sexy the fastest luxury EV any day of the week.
