The Lotus is super impressive if you ask me because it covers all bases, either using the engine to charge the battery, complimenting the electric motors if needed or running sole on the engine when it’s more economical. Plus it actually ended up being lighter than the pure battery version.

I had the normal EV version of the Eletre out over a weekend and it impressed the hell out of me but in the end I found it’s sheer width unnerving down some back roads when I met lorries etc, that and it wasn’t particularly ecomonical but the built, fit and finish were second to none.

Yes, the increase in prices due to tariffs is 7-10 percent with Porsche in the US.
What did you decide? Both are great vehicles for what they offer.
I haven’t decided yet. I’m punting down the road till both have owner reviews to compare. Guess I might see 175,000 miles on my current ride.
