The Lotus Emeya peaked at 402 kilowatts during one recorded charging session from 10 to 80%, averaging a remarkable 331 kW throughout the session.
When Chinese conglomerate and emerging EV powerhouse Geely acquired the famed British sports car brand Lotus, nobody really knew what to expect. Now we have some idea: the new Lotus Emeya electric sport sedan apparently cribs enough Geely EV know-how to offer charging speeds that rival some of the very best out there right now. In fact, the Emeya is actually ahead of most electric sedans on the market.
Lotus is also working on rolling out its own 450 kW charging units that are potentially even faster. Lotus Emeya One way the Emeya achieves this remarkable charging performance is through the use of cell-to-pack batteries, which allows Lotus to package 20% more cells in the same space compared to a similar battery pack that’s split into several large modules. This means the cells are placed directly inside the pack rather than into modules, which is how most automakers do it.
