Choose a version

Battery capacity, range and charging for the Lotus Emeya depend on the model year and variant. This summary is for one version. It does not blend the model into a single figure.

2025 Emeya (Base)

Battery capacity

102 kWh

Listed type: Lithium-ion. This is not a measured usable capacity.

Official WLTP range

379 miles

Official combined test figure for this version.

Estimated real-world range

379 miles

Supplier estimate. Not a VehicleScore road test, and not the official WLTP figure.

Home charging

22 kW onboard

Type 2 Standard. Listed charging time: 2070 min from 10–80% on a 2.3 kW supply; 635 min from 10–80% on a 7.5 kW supply; 433 min from 10–80% on a 11 kW supply; 216 min from 10–80% on a 22 kW supply.

A supply power is not the car’s maximum.

Energy use

269 Wh/mile (3.72 miles/kWh, 26.9 kWh/100 miles)

Miles per kWh and kWh per 100 miles are the same Wh per mile figure converted.

Battery warranty

New-car catalogue cover. It is not the warranty left on a used car.

Versions at a glance

Battery capacity, official WLTP range and estimated real-world range for each Lotus Emeya version. The estimated range is the supplier’s figure, not a VehicleScore road test. A blank cell means that figure is not listed for that version.

Charging cost estimate

Estimated home-charging cost for one Lotus Emeya version. The full charge uses that version’s listed battery capacity, which is not a measured usable capacity. Charging loss is an assumption you can change, not a test result for this car. The tariff and annual mileage are examples until you replace them.

Estimated full charge

£27.20

Estimated electricity cost per mile

7.17p

Estimated annual charging cost

£573.60

Cost per mile uses this version’s listed Wh per mile figure. A full charge is estimated at 113.33 kWh from the meter after the assumed loss. That works out at 3.72 miles per kWh before charging loss.

Charging time

A listed charging time is shown only when this version has a 10–80% time at the exact supply power you enter. Otherwise the minutes are a VehicleScore estimate from the battery capacity, that power and the charging loss. The rapid power box starts empty unless a rapid-charge limit is listed for the car. A charger’s advertised power is not filled in for you. A calculated rapid-charge time assumes constant power. It is not a real-world charging curve, and the number you type is the supply power, not confirmation of the car’s limit.

Home, 10–80%

216 min listed

Listed charging time: 216 minutes from 10–80% on a 22 kW supply. The charging-loss box does not change a listed time.

Rapid, 10–80%

14 min listed

Listed charging time: 14 minutes from 10–80% on a 350 kW supply. The charging-loss box does not change a listed time, and this supply power is not the car’s rapid-charge limit.

Full vehicle specifications for every version

Home charging

The onboard figure is the Type 1 or Type 2 charger listed for that version. Listed charging times are 10–80% at the supply power named beside them. A 22 kW supply does not mean the car charges at 22 kW.

Rapid charging

A rapid-charge limit is shown only where the vehicle specification includes one and it agrees with the charging-port record. Listed charging times stay next to the supply power they were timed at. That supply power is not the car’s maximum.

Energy efficiency

Wh per mile is the listed energy-use figure. Miles per kWh and kWh per 100 miles are that same figure converted. They are not a second test.

Battery warranty

These are the new-car battery warranty years and mileage. They are not the cover remaining on a used car. Where both a time limit and a mileage limit are listed, the record does not say which one ends the cover.

Winter range

These specifications do not include a winter or cold-weather range for the Lotus Emeya, and this guide does not estimate one. Cold weather shortens an electric car’s range. Compare the official WLTP figure and the supplier’s estimated real-world range for the same version.

A single winter percentage would mix versions that already have different batteries and ranges.

Buying a used Lotus Emeya

The figures above describe catalogue versions. They do not describe the battery in one used car.

  • Match the advert to the model year and variant before you compare battery capacity or range.
  • Read battery capacity as the listed catalogue figure. Usable capacity is not included.
  • Check the charge port and onboard home-charger rating for that version, especially on older cars with a Type 1 socket.
  • Treat the warranty as the new-car catalogue cover. Age and mileage decide what is left.
  • Enter the registration for history and any battery health records available for that vehicle. This page cannot show them.

Data sources

Battery capacity, official WLTP range, estimated real-world range, listed charging times, energy use and warranty figures are vehicle specifications supplied by UK Vehicle Data. Estimated real-world range is that supplier’s estimate, not a measurement by VehicleScore. Charging costs and any minute marked as calculated are VehicleScore estimates from the figures you can see. Usable battery capacity and winter range are not in this specification set, so they are not shown. Listed charging times that cannot be a 10–80% charge of a passenger car are left out.

Each row is one catalogue version. Figures are not averaged across model years or variants.

Questions about the Lotus Emeya

What battery capacity does the Lotus Emeya have?

Where a battery capacity is listed for the Lotus Emeya, it is 102 kWh. That is the listed catalogue figure, not a measured usable capacity.

What is the official WLTP range of the Lotus Emeya?

Official WLTP combined range differs by version: 311 miles, 379 miles. The range table shows which model year and variant each figure belongs to.

What is the estimated real-world range of the Lotus Emeya?

The supplier’s estimated real-world range differs by version: 311 miles, 379 miles. These are catalogue estimates, not a VehicleScore road test, and each one stays on its own version.

How efficient is the Lotus Emeya?

Energy use differs by version: 269 Wh/mile, 328 Wh/mile. Miles per kWh on the page is calculated from that version’s Wh per mile figure.

What home charger does the Lotus Emeya accept?

The onboard home charger is listed at 22 kW on the versions that have a Type 1 or Type 2 rating. Listed charging times are 10–80% at the supply power named beside them.

How fast can the Lotus Emeya rapid charge?

A rapid-charge limit is listed only where the vehicle specification includes one and it does not disagree with the charging-port record. The listed limits are 350 kW. Other rapid times stay labelled with the supply power they were timed at.

What battery warranty does the Lotus Emeya have?

The listed battery warranty is 8 years / 125,000 miles on the versions that include it. Where both a time limit and a mileage limit are stored, the record does not say which one ends the cover. This is the new-car catalogue warranty, not the cover left on a used car.

What is the winter range of the Lotus Emeya?

These specifications do not include a winter or cold-weather range for the Lotus Emeya, and this page does not estimate one. The range table shows the official WLTP figure, any other official test cycle that is listed, and the supplier’s estimated real-world range where those fields are filled in.

What should I check before buying a used Lotus Emeya?

Match the advert to the model year and variant before you compare battery capacity, range or charging. These pages describe catalogue versions. They do not show one car’s battery health or the warranty cover it has left. Enter the registration to check history and any battery health records available for that vehicle.
