Lotus is recreating itself as an all-electric, luxury vehicle manufacturer and the battery-powered Eletre is their latest model. It's loaded with gadgets, it's stupidly fast, and its style is head-turning.
But... at $315,000 for the R model (that's the one that goes really, really fast) and with a fairly normal range of 450 km/280 miles per charge it's going to appeal to a limited, but wealthy audience: buyers who want to impress both passengers and passers-by.
So, join Gav as he takes this 2.7 tonne car for a blast around the streets of Auckland and if you get a kick out of the video please scroll up and press that little "Like" button! It keeps Gav reviewing cars and prevents him from going back to OnlyFans. Well, except on Friday's when he offers 90% off...
And if you're keen on cutting your carbon footprint, come and join us at Ecotricity, which is now New Zealand's only climate positive electricity provider! That means by switching today, you're actually turning back the clock on Climate Change, while saving money in the process.
Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it's not! Ecotricity is real, with really affordable electricity, thanks to it being purely renewable.
Head to www.ecotricity.co.nz and chuck in your address to see how much money & carbon you can save right now. It's that easy and it makes a real, positive difference for the next generation.

Down country I normally point each ev on the road to my passengers. Totally not annoying at all! I use to think Gavin edited in all the other ev's in the background. Went to Auckland late last year, gave up pretty soon pointing out ev's. On the southern motorway you'll see ev's continually both directions. Now you can be stuck in traffic in clean air... Almost.

I've seen the EV:ICE ratio in Auckland increase since collecting our Polestar2 from there in July 2022. Then we went to Wellington last September and every second car seemed to be either a Leaf or a Tesla (only saw 2 other Polestars in 3 days though😎). The EV disruption is strong in our capital!

Great revue. All the facts in an entertaining style. This is awesome but the range….disappointing for such a massive battery. I would have thought it would be 600k min. Don’t know I like all the bling. I wonder how the front with those vents would cope with a roo strike in Australia. Lots of little things to go wrong. But…..awesome.

A Lotus is about whatever the company decides they are about, not you. Do you work for Lotus? Do you engineer or design their cars? If not, the only say you have is to buy one or not buy one. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it, simple as that.

To be fair it’s much bigger than the Macan, would (will) compete with an EV Cayenne. Lotus see the top spec as a direct competitor to the Lamborghini Urus - against that Lotus would argue it’s incredible value 🙃

Always look forward to your reviews, Gav. While I'm very much not a fan of UAVs (Urban Assault Vehicles), I do kinda like the way this looks. Terrible value for money, but if you can afford vehicles at that price point, well, as you say you're realistically not gonna care, are you? :-)

Lovely host. Such a fun reviewer. Making me watch heaps more models I ever cared to watch! This Lotus is terribly inefficient and that's it's biggest weakness. Lidar and the autopilot tech would be amazing but Model Y is 14kw compared to 24. Just not worth that for price!
