Performance
The Lotus Eletre 600 delivers a maximum power of 450 kW (612 hp / 604 bhp) and a total torque of 710 Nm (524 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 111.9 kWh and a net usable capacity of 109.0 kWh, providing a 2.9 kWh buffer (2.6%) for battery protection. Operating at a nominal voltage of 709 volts, it qualifies as an 800-volt battery system. This high voltage is pivotal in enabling the system's charging capabilities.
This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 600 to 490 km (373-305 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range.
The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 18.2 kWh/100 km for the base model and 22.2 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 367 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 51 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 20 minutes with an average charging speed of 225 kW.
Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 1% to 68%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 189 kW, with each charging session taking about 23 minutes and 8 seconds.
