King Charles III to Add Electric Lotus Eletre to Royal Collection

London, England – King Charles III is making headlines for his latest purchase, a Lotus Eletre, a fully electric vehicle that combines luxury with sustainability. Reports indicate that the King has chosen the striking Royal Claret color for his new hyper-SUV.

The purchase is intended for use at one of the King’s country estates. The Eletre, which boasts an impressive 900 horsepower, reflects the monarch’s commitment to environmentally friendly transportation. Pricing for the vehicle is estimated at around £160,000.

This is not King Charles’s first venture into the realm of electric vehicles. In 2018, he introduced the Jaguar I-Pace, which was later auctioned off after being enjoyed for several years. The King’s history with eco-conscious vehicles began in 2008 when he converted his Aston Martin DB6 to run on biofuel sourced from waste.

While Buckingham Palace has not issued an official comment regarding the Lotus purchase, the King’s interest in green technology is well-documented. This latest addition comes at a time when the British auto industry faces pressure to transition to electric vehicles.

Lotus describes the Eletre as an ‘all-electric hyper-SUV with racecar DNA,’ emphasizing both its performance and eco-friendliness. The marriage of the royal family’s Highland heritage with a modern EV underscores the evolution of royal transport.

Charles has an extensive automotive collection that includes classic vehicles such as Aston Martins, Bentleys, and Rolls-Royces. His purchase of the Eletre further solidifies his stature as a forward-thinking monarch committed to sustainability.
