Rumor has it that Chrysler could be bringing a new Dodge EV to the Detroit Auto Show. While details are still sketchy, we’ve been told that it will be a new four seat model based off of a Lotus platform.

It’s likely that the new Dodge EV will be based on the Lotus Evora and will feature more than just a badge swap this time around, though we’re not sure how much of a re-style it’ll receive.

Chrysler introduced the Dodge EV last September during an impromptu press event at their headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The Dodge EV was one of four electric concept vehicles developed for Chrysler’s ENVI program and is the most exciting of the group.

Look for the Evora-based Dodge EV and the official unveiling of the Jeep Patriot EV at the Detroit Auto Show later this month.
