Manage episode 452997545 series 2343685
British sports car manufacturer Lotus has abandoned plans to go fully electric by
2028. Now deciding to develop super hybrids or range extenders – blending high
performance with a fuel range of 1100 km or more. Lotus now owned by Chinese
company Geely says its step back from an all-electric future has been dictated by

electrical architecture, turbocharged engines, and a large battery pack. Lotus
sold 7543 vehicles in the first nine months of this year, its first electric car the

company still managed to lose a hefty $770 million dollars in the first half. I’m
