Lotus Technology begins delivery of Eletre electric SUV


NEW YORK: Lotus Technology Inc has delivered its first fully electric hyper SUV.

The company, owned by China's Geely, hosted a delivery ceremony at the Shanghai International Circuit F1 track to celebrate the occasion, in conjunction with the 75th anniversary of the Lotus brand.

In addition to superior aerodynamics and design, Eletre features such technologies as fully embedded L4-ready hardware with the world's first deployable LiDAR system.

It is powered by Lotus's proprietary 800-volt system, delivering a sportscar-like experience and enabling Lotus Tech's 420-kilowatt supercharging solution. As of Jan 31, Lotus had received more than 5,000 Eletre orders worldwide.

The first Eletre delivery marks a key milestone in Lotus's transformation into an advanced, fully electric, intelligent, and sustainable luxury mobility provider ahead of its 80th anniversary in 2028.

The company is now rolling out further deliveries across China, and will begin delivery in the UK and EU later this year. Planning is also underway for future delivery to the US and rest of the world, leveraging the brand's global network.
