I cannot wait to see - supposedly this car is currently orderable and he is supposed to get his soon.

I have never heard of it.

Those electric versions are actually Lotuses, converted to electric. What you are probably seeing are the regular, gasoline powered Lotuses. They ARE quick, because they are so light.

I read a few months ago that Detroit Electric came back to life.

The car itself is a Lotus Elise with their proper electrical engine (and a changed rear end).
