Five Luxury EVs with the Fastest Charging Times

Once upon a time, slow charging speeds dampened the allure of luxury electric cars, but oh, how the tides have turned! Most new luxury models now boast lightning-fast charging rates, allowing you to add plenty of range for long journeys in mere minutes.

Here are five electric luxury cars with the fastest charging times you can lease in the UK.

Porsche Taycan

The Porsche Taycan is the world’s first production car with double the usual system voltage—800 volts! It’s the one that made rapid charging a thing. You can charge this sleek four-door sports car’s 97 kWh battery pack at a whopping 320 kW, meaning a 10-80% charging session takes just 18 minutes. While you enjoy a quick coffee break, you could add a range of over 300 miles. With a 22 kW AC charger, you can fill it from 0 to 100% in six hours.

The Porsche Taycan comes in a variety of configurations, including three body styles—saloon, Sport Turismo (shooting brake), and Cross Turismo (crossover shooting brake). For maximum performance and range, the saloon is your best bet. It rockets from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.2 seconds and can hit a top speed of 190 mph. When driven efficiently, it covers up to 421 miles on a full charge.

Audi e-tron GT

The Audi e-tron GT is like the Taycan's dapper cousin, designed for cruising in comfort along the motorway. It uses the same 97 kWh battery pack, supporting charging at the same maximum rate of 320 kW. Just like the Taycan, a 10-80% charging session can be done in as little as 18 minutes.

Available in S, RS, and RS Performance variants, the e-tron GT can whisk you from 0 to 62 mph in a mere 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 155 mph. Drive it with a gentle touch on the throttle, and you could cover up to 375 miles on a full charge.

Genesis GV60

The Genesis GV60 may not have the same name recognition as the Audi Q4 e-tron, but it’s got sophistication in spades. Its standard 77.4 kWh battery pack can charge up to 240 kW, juicing it up from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes. When fully charged, you can travel up to 321 miles without a pit stop.

This compact SUV features a dynamic yet elegant exterior with a coupe-like profile, alongside a sumptuous interior that feels spacious and serene. A standout luxury feature is its unique ‘Crystal Sphere’ that adds a touch of flair with ambient lighting when stationary, rotating 180 degrees to reveal its gearshift dial.

Lotus Emeya

The Lotus Emeya is an electric grand tourer for performance enthusiasts, and it excels in the charging department as much as it does on the road. With a 98.9 kWh battery pack and a maximum charging input of 350 kW, it can achieve a 10-80% fast charging time of just 20 minutes. In other markets, Lotus Technology has even hinted at a higher charging power of up to 402 kW, which might roll out in the UK via a software update—potentially reducing charging time to just 14 minutes! Using a 22 kW AC charger, you can fully charge the 98.9 kWh battery in 5.5 hours.

The Emeya goes from 0 to 62 mph in as little as 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of 159 mph. With power-assisted doors, front and rear seats with a massage function more effective than even Mercs, a 31-litre frunk, and a whopping 1,388 litres of luggage space, it’s the epitome of luxury.

Get your adrenaline pumping! Unleash the power of the Lotus Emeya and feel the rush of pure performance!

Lotus Eletre

The Lotus Eletre offers an SUV twist on the Emeya, providing a higher seating position for a better view of the road, along with a larger 46-litre frunk and 1,532 litres of luggage space inside. However, it does forgo some luxury features like the power-assisted doors.

With a bigger 109 kWh battery pack, the Eletre can charge at up to 350 kW using a DC charger, achieving a 10-80% fast-charging time of as little as 20 minutes. There’s also potential for a future software update to boost peak charging power to over 400 kW, which could significantly reduce charging time. Through a 22 kW AC charger, you can fully charge the 109 kWh battery from 0 to 100% in 5.8 hours.

Adventure meets elegance! Take charge of your driving destiny with the Lotus Eletre—where luxury meets the open road!

Gone are the days of fretting about charging times, charger availability, and driving range. Today’s best luxury cars are making the leap to electric and have long since tackled these concerns. With manufacturers embracing higher-voltage batteries that support lightning-fast charging, topping up your electric model is now just as convenient as filling up with petrol or diesel.
