Combustion engines reappear on the firm's roadmap - but don't get too excited
Even by the topsy-turvy standards of the automotive industry in 2024, this has been quite the week. Ford has announced job cuts in the UK, which for a long time would have seemed an impossible eventuality, Jaguar has melted the internet with its astonishing relaunch, and now Lotus has confirmed the introduction of hybrid technology. Having previously said it would be an EV-only carmaker in the not-too-distant future. All in the space of a few days - it’s hard to keep up.
‘High performance, high efficiency and a flexible longer driving distance’ is the promise, which certainly sounds like the ideal cake-and-eat-it scenario for an electrified car. Most PHEVs won’t take DC charge of more than 50kW, when dedicated EVs can be comfortably above 200kW, so if that number could be improved then it makes a plug-in more appealing. Hopefully that claim about efficiency means a hybrid Lotus won’t weigh too much either - although let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet.
