Lotus Emeya Beats Electric Rivals In Charging Race, But ICE Cars Still Fill Much Faster

Emeya sedan recharged from 10-80 percent in 14 minutes during independent test and reached a peak charging rate of 402kW

Lotus Emeya EV beat multiple other electric cars in an independent charging speed test. China-built sedan recharged from 10-80 percent in 14 minutes and reached a peak charging rate of 402kW. Emeya charged faster than other high-rate EVs like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, but still took five times as long as a combustion car would. A zero to 62 mph time of less than 2.8 seconds means the Lotus Emeya is undeniably a fast car. But accelerating is only one thing it does quickly. Charging is another.

Besides the Lotus, P3 tested the XPeng G9 RWD Long Range, Kia EV9 RWD, Hyundai Ioniq 6 RWD, Nio ET5 Touring Long Range, Mercedes EQS 450+, Genesis G80 Electrified, BMW i7 eDrive50, Tesla Model Y RWD Long Range and BYD Atto 3. P3’s charts show that despite the Hyundai Group EVs being feted for their supposedly rapid-charging 800-volt architecture, they couldn’t get close to the Emeya’s peak charge rate.
