The brand's new sedan is the fastest-charging production electric car on the market. Find out how Lotus achieved this feat and what it means for the future of electric mobility.
A new speed record for Emeya
The Lotus Emeya can boast a new speed record, but not the one you're thinking of. According to a recent study, this electric model would be capable of going from 10 to 80% battery charge in less than a quarter of an hour, making it the fastest-charging production electric car on the market.
A revealing independent study
Independent consultancy P3 conducted a study of 10 luxury electric vehicles available in Asia, where the Emeya is manufactured. Among the models tested, we find:
The Emeya outperforms the competition
The results of the study are clear: the Emeya clearly stands out from its competitors. The sedan achieved a maximum charging power of 402 kW and an average charging power of 331 kW. Thanks to this, she can:
Unrivaled performance
The second best vehicle in the test, the XPeng G9 (a crossover not available in the United States), has a maximum charging power of 320 kW. The Emeya also outperforms two other notable EVs not included in the study:
A new chapter for Lotus
The Emeya, like the Eletre SUV, will be built in China and marks a turning point for Lotus. The manufacturer, until recently specialized in sports cars, is expanding its range by becoming a 100% electric manufacturer. But the brand does not forget its roots: the Emeya, described as โhyper-GTโ, sports a bold design and has a dual-motor powertrain developing up to 905 hp. More comfortable and reasonable than previous Lotus models, it nevertheless promises the strong sensations characteristic of the brand.
With its ultra-fast charging capacity, Emeya opens new perspectives for electric mobility. Lotus proves that it is possible to combine performance, luxury and practicality in an electric car, pushing the limits of what was previously thought possible.
