Long story (honestly not a long article) short, Subaru's plans for a 3rd generation BRZ is under debate and going EV is a consideration, but their options are "open". The timing for an electric BRZ is also dependent on their relationship with Toyota, so getting a win-win between them is important. An "electrified powertrain" (hybrid) may be more complicated to package than going pure EV. Also: "Subaru is currently on an all-out offensive in the family car market with a line-up that consists of the Crosstrek, Outback and Forester, as well as the new electric Uncharted, E-Outback, and updated Solterra. Stritto said for any sports-focused models to come to Europe, these need to first perform – especially the Uncharted. “We feel very positively about Subaru enthusiasts, but we need to see how Uncharted does first,” he said."
