I don't think there will be small electric cars with Bristol logo.
But there certainly will be Bristol coupés and sports cars with hybrid drivetrains.
Look at the Frazer Nash Giugiaro concept which was unveiled two years ago in Geneva. This was not a small car but a 190 mph supercar.
As long as this kind of technology will not be offered exclusively but as an additional option, I cannot see anything bad in it.
Just the opposite - it will also help to bring the maufacturer-related CO2 figures down, which might be an important legislative aspect in the future.
I think this is also the main reason why Aston Martin are now offering a car like the Cygnet.
