Lotus confirms family-focused electric SUV Eletre will have 20-minute charge time

The Eletre is Lotus’ first SUV, and one of several planned electric models over the upcoming years

The first SUV from the British marque known primarily for sports cars, will accomplish rapid charging from 10-80% in only 20 minutes, and will be able to add up to 120 km (74 miles) of range in just five minutes. The automaker claims the Eletre is a true Lotus, blending the core DNA of Emira and Evija, reinterpreting them as a hyper-SUV with advanced suspension and chassis tech. The all-electric powertrain delivers the perfect balance of performance, responsiveness, and range – up to 600km (373 miles) WLTP combined.

One of several planned electric models, the Eletre uses an 800-volt electrical architecture that allows for 350-kw DC fast charging, matching the maximum power rate widely available from public chargers in the U.S. And at 0-100 km/h (0-62mph) in under three seconds makes the Eletre R model the world’s fastest dual-motor pure electric SUV.

Lotus state the Eletre is the first of a new breed of pure electric performance SUVs which takes the core principles and Lotus DNA from 75 years of sports car design and engineering, evolving them into a desirable all-new lifestyle vehicle. It’s aimed at a new generation of Lotus customers; those who value the world-class dynamic performance and striking design which have always been part of the Lotus experience, and who also need a practical, versatile, and spacious family-focused vehicle – one that’s packed with the latest digital technology to make their driving life safer and more convenient.

Following the very limited production Evija supercar, the Eletre is Lotus’ first volume EV, and the marque’s electrification shift is set to continue with a high-volume sports car launching in 2026, and a four-door coupe and a smaller SUV. The latter is expected to be unveiled later this year, with the four-door coupe arriving in 2025.
