Lotus EV Portfolio

Lotus is an EV brand owned by Geely and made in UK. This model portfolio showcases the shift toward zero-emission mobility.

Vehicles are organized by model family. A model family is an OEM-defined product program sharing a common platform, architecture, and market positioning, from which multiple body styles, variants, and trims are derived.

Lotus EV Model Families

List of Lotus EV model families - only all-electric (BEV) models are listed:

Lotus EV Technology

Platform = level of vehicle platform maturity or advancement, and its dominant system voltage.
Shared = ICE-derived | Dedicated = EV-native platform | SDV-Native = future-proof

E/E Architecture: degree of integration and maturity of the vehicle’s electronic/electric control systems (from Baseline legacy wiring to Advanced domain/zonal designs).
Baseline = Distributed ECUs | Modern = Domain-based | SDV-Native = Zonal-based with central compute

OTA Capability = scope of Over-The-Air updates supported — from Baseline basic infotainment to Advanced control and systems firmware.
Baseline = Infotainment/maps | Limited = Infotainment+ | Partial = Multiple systems | Advanced = Most systems | Full = Full-vehicle updateable

Battery Suppliers = primary traction battery suppliers across the model lineup.

Power Inverter Tech = power electronics technology used (silicon carbide SiC vs silicon), which affects efficiency and thermal performance.
IGBT = Conventional | SiC = High-efficiency | GaN = Next-generation, pilots

About Lotus

Lotus Cars is a British performance and sports car manufacturer headquartered in Hethel, Norfolk, and a subsidiary of China's Geely Holding Group. Founded in 1948 by Colin Chapman, Lotus is renowned for its engineering philosophy centered on lightness, precision handling, and driver engagement. Under Geely ownership since 2017, Lotus has undergone a dramatic transformation from a niche sports car builder into a global performance electric vehicle brand, blending its racing heritage with cutting edge electrification and digital technology.

The company's first step into the electric era began with the Evija, an all electric hypercar unveiled in 2019. Limited to 130 units, the Evija produces over 1,470 kW (2,000 horsepower) from four independent motors and delivers exceptional performance, including sub two second acceleration and a top speed exceeding 320 kilometers per hour. Built with a carbon fiber monocoque and advanced torque vectoring, the Evija represents the purest expression of Lotus's performance DNA in electric form.

Following the Evija, Lotus introduced its first electric lifestyle models- the Eletre SUV and the Emeya grand touring sedan. The Eletre, launched in 2023, is a luxury performance SUV built on the brand's dedicated Electric Premium Architecture (EPA). It features dual motor all wheel drive, 800 volt charging capability, and a range of up to 600 kilometers (WLTP). The Emeya, unveiled in 2024, is a high performance electric sedan positioned against rivals such as the Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S, combining supercar performance with touring comfort. Both vehicles integrate advanced aerodynamics, AI enhanced driver assistance, and immersive digital cockpits powered by Unreal Engine graphics.

Lotus is also developing future electric sports cars on a new lightweight architecture co developed by Lotus Engineering and Alpine. This platform will underpin the upcoming Type 135, a fully electric successor to Lotus's traditional two seat sports cars, expected to debut in 2027. The brand continues to emphasize low weight, aerodynamics, and dynamic precision, applying its motorsport expertise to ensure that its electric models retain the tactile engagement that defines Lotus driving.

In parallel, Lotus Technology- a dedicated division headquartered in Wuhan, China- oversees global production, R&D, and software development for the company's electric models. Lotus now operates advanced facilities in both the United Kingdom and China, combining British design and engineering with global manufacturing scale under Geely's international framework.

Pure Electric Identity

Lotus is evolving into a pure play electric automaker. With the Evija, Eletre, and Emeya leading its transformation and future models like the Type 135 in development, Lotus is redefining high performance for the zero emission era, uniting its legacy of lightness and agility with advanced electrification and intelligent design.
