Lotus trashes fully electric future !!!!!

Another way of looking at it - Government's knew what they were doing and wanted the extra tax money.

As for the engine powering the hybrids - https://insideevs.com/news/730921/zeekr-super-hybrid-geely-2025/

Zeekr is basically the lower end Lotus in the Geely umbrella. I don't think the Emira will be coming with any hybrid tech. Expect type 135 to have it however. Probably both EV and Hybrid variants.

I'd like to think the UK government have recently learnt a lesson that you can't just dip your hands in up to the elbow and help yourself - but I'll probably be proved wrong!

Yeah - I agree - I don't think the Emira will ever bee a hybrid (good!).

It's a good way to separate the 135 from it though
