Lotus says its Emeya electric hypercar has posted a new charging-speed result: in testing the car nearly maxed out the brand’s 450-kW DC hardware, peaking at 443 kW and going from 10–80% in just 13 minutes 35 seconds. The session was run by official dealer Lotus Al Ghanim in Kuwait, and the key detail is that it happened in intense heat, when thermal management typically curtails power — a context that gives the figures extra weight.The pace comes from an 800-volt architecture and a cell-to-pack battery layout, which fits more cells into the same volume, plus a new cooling loop engineered for the high thermal loads of ultra-fast charging. Lotus follows the same philosophy on the Eletre.For practical context, Lotus provides clear yardsticks: it states that Emeya can add up to 310 km of range in 10 minutes of charging, and for the 2026 model year it cites a WLTP figure of up to 610 km, depending on version. The brand ties this pace to its ecosystem as well: the Lotus Cars app and the onboard Hyper OS help locate public stations and plan routes with charging stops in mind, easing long-distance travel.Separately, Lotus notes it has begun rolling out 450-kW DC ultra-fast chargers in Europe, starting with Germany, with other markets to follow.
