Lotus has revealed anelectric carcharger that claims to be 80 percent faster than the most powerfulTesla Supercharger.
Called the Liquid-Cooled All-in-One DC Charger, Lotus says the device can fill batteries at a rate of up to 450 kW. This is significantly quicker than the latest, fourth-generation Tesla Supercharger, which can manage a peak charge rate of 250 kW.
Lotus says itsEletre R electric SUV, pictured below, can gain up to 88.5 miles of range with just five minutes’ use of the new charger. This compares to 74 miles when plugged into a 350 kW charger, the company says.
Revealed for the first time at the London EV Show this week, the super-fast chargers aren’t available for UK and European drivers just yet.

This is a modular unit designed for “spaces that require high energy in order to increase efficiency and minimise charging time, such as motorway rest stops,” the company said. Lotus also showed off a new liquid-cooled charging unit, which is designed to be used with the power cabinet and can charge up to four vehicles at once.
