This is a lot of firsts for Lotus all wrapped into one. To me , this is an absolutely
stunning car. I'm excited for the hypercar future unfolding in the next few years with the likes of this and the valkyrie.
what's the obsession with fast charging though? i can understand in a taxi/delivery fleet but for personal use it just ensures killing the battery longevity

Spoiler!
Because people want to eat cans of Chef Boyardee while driving. In Nanaimo I could go 5 or 6 days with out charging if I had a Tesla. Some people are afraid of change and want an electric car to just a ice car including fueling times.

Simply "time is money". The faster a car can charge, the more convenient it is.
While it's not necessary today, and won't even matter to most, having the desire to pursue it is the stepping stone of how this tech will continually improve.
Until one day, we'll have the technology to be able to fast charge while the sacrifice of battery longevity becomes negligible.

What's the point of a track car that takes a night to charge?
Bang out a few laps, pop it in for a quick charge and by the time you've knocked back a cup of brown you're back in action.
how much seat time? 2000 kW is likely plenty
if it's being treated like a real race car then i guess buying new battery for it every 10k since killing it with quick charge isn't that bad if you just consider it like an engine overhaul

i'm for quick charge if they figure out how not to degrade the cells from it
battery capacity and charging time will be less of a concern once they figure out how to put wireless charging everywhere (public stalls, at home, at stoplights, etc)
i've stopped caring about battery life for my phone with a wireless charger in the car, work, bedside, living room etc.
Some mainlander students in the Lower Mainland need to get on the waiting list fast for the hypercar before school starts again. Ferrari, Lambo? They're for peasants.
Fast charging currently creates significant battery wear. Solid state batteries may address this, although with other drawbacks. For this type of car it probably doesn’t matter. Limited driving time and the funds to just put in another pack without thinking twice.
0-60 times are a traction-limited metric. It’s only meaningful to a point.
