The evidence that Lotus may launch a leccy version of its Evora sports car is mounting, following a leaked company presentation highlighting how the model could be used as the basis for a sporty e-car.
Lotus Evora Lotus' Evora: is a leccy model be in the works?

What they hey, the more electrics the better....looks like Tesla may be planning to phase out the Roadster once the S hits the showrooms....makes sense since the sales of the S should be much higher than the Roadster due to price points and they may well be getting a kickback from Lotus to boot.
The mark of a man lacking lacking confidence is feeling compelled to explain his jokes. It was, by IT standards, not a bad joke. But, as Elbart Hubbard once said, never explain...
Huzzah! Another electric sports car never to be produced. Way to go!
Meanwhile still on my wishlist: Station wagon large enough for a family with two children to go on vacation with. A decent engine would be nice (I could live with 120kW AWD), but two weeks worth of luggage and the stroller are a priority.

Anyone else misinterpret this bit of the title:
"Leaked Lotus doc"
I thought: who the hell uses lotus docs?
I then realised it was the car company, not the software company.

Not their first electric car outing #
Let's not forget that Lotus developed the chassis for the Sinclair C5 way back in the early 80's - way ahead of the curve.

"a 200kW electric motor connected to a 71kWh battery"
That's no good - it'll run out of juice after 21 minutes at full throttle, which will probably get you about 50 miles down the autobahn.
Then what?

After 21 minutes of full-throttle, this thing will be approaching the sound-barrier, and can free-wheel the rest of the journey .
