The Lotus Emeya is the brand’s first all-electric hyper-GT. A 918hp, four-door missile with active aero, laser headlights, and 900V charging. More tech-heavy than a Taycan Turbo S and rarer than a Lucid Air, it’s Lotus’ bold leap into the EV future.
1. Price Ranges (EUR, Mid-2024)
Standard Emeya (EU-Spec, 918hp Dual-Motor AWD)
New (0 km): €120,000 – €150,000 (Base MSRP: €116,000, but early markups apply.)
Demo/Low-Mileage (<5,000 km): €110,000 – €130,000 (Full warranty, unregistered.)
(Note: Too new for used market—most examples are factory orders.)
Key Specs
0–100 km/h: 2.8s (faster than a Tesla Model S Plaid).
Range: 600 km (WLTP).
Charging: 350 kW peak (10–80% in 18 mins).
2. Key Factors Affecting Value

Active rear diffuser (adjusts for downforce or efficiency).
LIDAR-enabled ADAS (future-proof autonomous driving).

EU Type Approval (Confirm local homologation.)
3. Where to Buy?
Official Channels:
Lotus Electric Dealers (London, Munich, Paris) (First deliveries Q3 2024.)

Not yet viable—too new for gray market.
Pro Tip:
The "Founders Edition" (€150k+) has exclusive badging and priority delivery.
4. Market Trends
📈 Early Adopter Tax
First-year markups likely (as with Eletre).
2025 models may offer solid-state batteries (+100km range).
⚠️ Trap Warning
"Pre-order flipping" scams—only buy via official channels.
5. Must-Do Checks
🔧 Mechanical:
DC Fast Charge Test (Should hit 300kW+ on 800V chargers.)
Air Suspension Calibration (Should lower 50mm at speed.)
📄 Paperwork:
Lotus "E-Certificate" (Digital provenance record.)
Battery Warranty (8 years/160,000 km standard.)
Fun Fact:
