Subaru trademarks Evoltis
Subaru is advancing into the electric vehicle (EV) sphere and is reportedly picking a name for its plug-in hybrid, which may be called "Evoltis."
Posted on 19 April, 2018
The Evoltis name appears in the United States Patent and Trademark Office's listings, and Subaru's application has been filed as recently as March 26. We don't know yet whether the Evoltis name would stand for the entire vehicle or its hybrid tech, or if it will be actually used at all. Car & Driver reports that Subaru of America didn't comment on the matter when asked. Last year, Subaru CEO Yasuyuki Yoshinaga said his company is looking at electrifying existing models of its fleet rather than designing an all-new line-up in its future technological plans. Subaru plans to release a plug-in hybrid at the end of this year.
