Overview
- Lotus introduced a plug-in hybrid Eletre, badged For Me in China and marketed overseas as the Eletre X Hybrid.
- The X-Hybrid setup pairs a 2.0‑litre turbocharged four‑cylinder with dual motors and a 70 kWh battery on a 900‑volt architecture for a claimed 952 PS and 935 Nm.
- Performance and efficiency claims include 0–100 km/h in about 3.3 seconds, up to 350 km of electric range and a total range exceeding 1,200 km.
- DC charging is quoted at up to 6C (roughly 420–430 kW), enabling a 20–80% top‑up in about nine minutes.
- A staged rollout starts in China on March 29, reaches Continental Europe mid‑2026 and the UK in 2027, with wider markets to follow; the model shares key engineering with Zeekr’s SEA‑R platform and uses Aurobay/Horse Powertrain components.
