[1] The CityCar has a lithium battery pack with an all-electric range of 60 km (37 miles), and after the battery is depleted the 1.2-litre petrol engine kicks in to help with charging, allowing the car to run more than 500 km (310 miles).

[1][2] The concept car is designed for flex-fuel operation on ethanol, or methanol as well as regular petrol.

[3] The Ethos concept is an urban electric car with a 14.8 kWh lithium battery pack that delivers a range of up to 37 miles (60 km) in electric-only mode.

The concept car weighs less than 1400 kg, and Lotus claims it will reach 62 miles per hour (100 km/h) from rest in 9 seconds.

[2] Top speed is 170 kilometres per hour (110 mph), with a charge-sustaining top speed of 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph) and the drivetrain has CO2 emissions rating below of 60 g/km on the ECE-R101 test.
