Automobile companies continue to make moves for the production of electric cars that are expected to dominate the roads in the future. The UK-based automaker Lotus is among the companies that have started to make moves in this regard. The giant company introduced the first electric and SUV car in its history, Eletre, in the past months.
There has been a new development regarding Eletre, which is described as a turning point for the company and attracts great attention with its features. According to the news, the production of the car, which is planned to start full production in 2023, started in the past weeks.
Production of Eletre with 591 horsepower started in China
It was reported that the first of the electric SUV Eletre, which will change the fate of the brand, went out of production a few weeks ago. It was reported that this took place in the company’s new $ 1.2 billion production facility established in Wuhan, China. It was announced that the vehicle, which is planned to go into full production in 2023, will be produced in China.
Being the first SUV of Lotus, the vehicle draws attention with its 591 horsepower and over 100 kWh battery. In addition, it is stated that the vehicle with a dual-engine installation will have a range of 600 kilometers on a single charge. It is also among the rumors that there may be more powerful versions of the vehicle with more than 900 horsepower. Of course, it should be noted that this has not yet been confirmed.
It is stated that the vehicle, which will support fast charging, will offer a range of up to 400 km after a 20-minute charge, and will come with the 4WS (four-wheel steering) system, which provides ease of maneuvering. It is also stated that the vehicle, which promises to reach 0 to 100 km in less than 3 seconds, has the possibility of providing fully autonomous service in the future. Standing out with its technologies, Eletre also draws attention to the fact that it has a camera instead of mirrors.
Lotus, which plans to have Eletre on the roads in 2023, also plans to introduce two crossover vehicles and two fully electric cars. The company aims to launch these vehicles by 2025. It is also among the news that Lotus, which has lost its popularity in recent years, plans to sell 100,000 vehicles by 2027 and expand its presence in China.
