Lotus CEO, Michael Kimberly, has told the Financial Times that Lotus is planning an electric car “sooner rather than later”, and went on to say that it will be an extended range battery vehicle. Extended range EVs (like the Chevy Volt) are probably the best option for a mainstream car at the moment, at least until you can buy hydrogen at the pumps other than in California.

Now, Ford has given buyers who want a sub-100g/km car the chance to finally buy a petrol car instead of an oil burner with the first family-sized car with a petrol engine to break the 100g/km barrier.
