Overview
- The Eletre For Me debuts in China with a European launch planned, with InsideEVs reporting a second-half 2026 arrival window for Europe.
- A 2.0-liter turbo four rated at 279 hp pairs with two electric motors and a 70 kWh CATL battery on a 900-volt architecture.
- Combined output is reported at about 952 hp—above the Eletre R—with a 0–62 mph time quoted at 3.3 seconds.
- The 900-volt pack is reported to support charging rates over 400 kW, with Zeekr 9X references indicating roughly eight–nine minutes for 30–80% though Lotus has not confirmed exact times.
- Electric-only range is quoted at about 220 miles on the CLTC cycle (roughly 154 miles on EPA estimates), and the launch follows weak EV sales and a $357 million operating loss through September 2025.
