A few years ago, Lotus announced it would end production of gas-powered vehicles to become a pure EV company. Since then, the world has solved climate change, found a way to produce clean gas from air and ended all geopolitical crises threatening access to global fuel supplies. Consequently, Lotus has announced its long-telegraphed plan to resume building cars with internal combustion engines. The Geely-owned outfit has today unveiled Focus 2030, its plan to use ICE, hybrid and electric powertrains across its range.
