Lotus plans their own electric sports car

Lotus is not new to electric cars. They are currently assembling bodies for the Tesla Roadster(all electric car based on Lotus Elise) at its factory in Norfolk. In addition they have advised Chrysler on their Dodge electric car, that is based on the Lotus Europa.

Technologically speaking this electric sports car will be similar to Chevrolet Volt. It will be equipped with a fuel-based “range extender” to back up its battery. Performance wise it will probably be similar to Tesla Roadster.
