Strangely enough, I'm not convinced that Lotus will continue with ICE cars, I think they'll go electric.
At the moment in the UK there's no significant infrastructure for electric cars but even so, they are selling. Mainly to folks like myself who don't do big mileages, just local trips shopping, going out, etc, for which electric cars are fine because you charge at home and that's enough for your day. And generally speaking most Lotus cars over here aren't high milers.
Only a couple of years ago I would never have considered electric but now, well, I have looked at options for the daily shopping trolley the next time we change. (of course with the recent rise in electricity over here that might change
)
Despite our natural preference for engine noise, electric performance can be excellent and because Lotus don't sell that many cars a "green" car with the same sort of performance would be just the thing for another Lotus USP.
