As electric cars continue to become widespread, charging technologies are improving. Nowadays, urban transportation is possible with 1-hour charging. However Charging speeds for electric cars With increasing usage, usage is expected to explode. Lotus breaks a record in charging speed with its Emeya model.
Lotus Emeya travels 320 km in just 14 minutes
Lotus Emeyahas set a new standard in electric vehicle charging speeds. According to the research, it reached 80 percent battery capacity from 10 percent in just 14 minutes. This means it is the fastest charging electric car ever.
Tests carried out by an electric vehicle consulting company, Emeya’s 402kW charging power He showed that he could pull it off. It was able to maintain a charging rate of 331kW throughout the 10-80 percent charging level. This shows that Emeya can go around 320 km range with just 10 minutes of charging.
After Turkey, the European Union also imposed additional taxes on China!
The European Union will impose additional taxes on Chinese-made electric cars. Accordingly, taxes of up to 38 percent are at the door.
Connected to a 400kW DC fast charger, Emeya seems unrivaled in this field. According to the tests, the second place is the Xpeng G9, which reaches a speed of 320kW. Other models that support fast charging, such as the Porsche Taycan, were able to reach 80 percent in 16 minutes with 350kW chargers.
Lotus said it is developing an 800-volt battery platform for Emeya. He also stated that he has built battery thermal management specifically for the hypercar. Emeya’s performance also reveals the highest level that electric vehicle technology has reached today.
As 350kW and higher fast charging networks continue to expand, charging problems for electric cars will disappear. Lotus is also already developing 450kW chargers to fully exploit Emeya’s potential.
