Lotus has teamed up with Britshvolt in development of its first all-electric sports car -
has signed a memorandum of understanding with Britishvolt, a leading British battery supplier, to develop a new generation of battery cells for use in future sports cars.
The agreement will focus on three key areas of battery cell technology, specifically designed to suit their application in a low-mass sports car, including optimising its fast charging capability, increasing energy density and reducing overall weight. These three areas of development are critical for their use in sports cars, for obvious reasons, but should also yield advancements in battery packs used across all markets. Yet this specific focus on high performance sports cars highlights the work that still needs to be done in battery development in order to be suitable for use in something with more dynamic focus.
While this new generation of batteries will be co-developed with a technical partner, the lead on its electric motors and inverters will remain in-house, developed between its Norfolk base and new Lotus Technology HQ in Wuhan, China.Alongside the announcement, Lotus has revealed an initial graphic of the electric sports car that will feature the technology developed from this partnership.
