Not sure if this is new news, but it came up this morning that small UK manufacturing brands will be excluded from the 2030 petrol ban. So Lotus, Caterham etc will be able to continue making cars...

Current UK government EV policy is that "small volume car maker" means manufacturing less than 2,500 cars a year. Perhaps this will change given events, but at the moment Lotus Cars doesn't qualify because Emira volumes are well above this.
On the other hand, if the US market is no longer viable for Lotus, then Emira volume might well fall to 2,500!

Still plenty of time for that ban to be rolled back.
