Lotus Eletre S Recommended Charge Level
The Lotus Eletre S uses an NMC battery. The typical recommended charge limit is 80% to 90% for daily use and only charge to 100% for longer trips.
The recommended charge limit for NMC batteries is due to higher degradation risk from a higher state of charge.
Check your owners manual for specific recommendations for the Lotus Eletre S.
Lotus Eletre S Bidirectional Charging (V2G/V2H/V2L)
The Lotus Eletre S does not currently support bidirectional charging features such as Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), Vehicle-to-Home (V2H), or Vehicle-to-Load (V2L).
| Feature | Supported | Max Power Output |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) | No | - |
| Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) | No | - |
| Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) | No | - kW |
