Lotus future - fully electric
Lotus future - fully electric
One more car to be ICE (type 131) then it’s fully electric
• future sports cars will be pure electric
• Chinese-built ‘lifestyle vehicles’ will also be zero emission
End of lotus as we know it, I have no interest in electric sports cars or a Chinese built SUV.

Re: Lotus future - fully electric
I will keep an ICE car but like to add a nice EV for a different driving experience.

ICE days numbered for sure, enjoy while you can. No new builds in a few years and existing carbon burners will be taxed off the road unless you have deep pockets I expect.

Re: Lotus future - fully electric
As things stand, in just over 8.5 years all new cars must be electric, so this is hardly news?

Re: Lotus future - fully electric
To be fair Lotus did publish the news of the last ICE back in April 2020 ish

In this country perhaps. What target has the rest of the world set to get rid of P+D off their roads? Man is supposed to be on Mars by 2030 too....
If you need to go even faster, just imagine you are me.
Re: Lotus future - fully electric
Legislation will stop the sale of ICE by 2030 any way so as long as the 131 has a life of 8-9 years it’s as much as we can expect.
An electric Lotus should be a good thing, just a shame there won’t be ICE too.

We’ll just need to take good care of the ones we’ve got at the moment then

Re: Lotus future - fully electric
Well hopefully Lotus will be at the forefront of making Electric fun!
They have to get on it to not be left behind, and as much as I loved the Lotuses that I have owned at the moment, Im not sure I would have another from the current product line up as I feel they've been done to death, and ive owned nearly every product they have made.
The Evija is an epic bit of engineering , and hopefully some of the learning from that project comes together in a new futuristic state of the art Lotus.
I'm excited to see what happens in the future, and Ive absolutely adored their past. Now they are resourced to an entirely new level hopefully the limitations are endless

Re: Lotus future - fully electric
For me I am playing catch up on the existing models. I want to enjoy a fun ICE while I can. I think the move to electric for me will happen eventually but not until things have bedded down and the kinks ironed out. I have the fear about the reliability. Ultimately the performance should be better and that will be the attraction eventually.

Chinese factory knocking out up to 150,000 SUVs a year. Oh well.
Hope they are better quality than the way MG went
