SEA-S
formerly EPA (Electric Premium Architecture)SEA-S (marketed by Lotus as Electric Premium Architecture, EPA) is a dedicated 800V EV skateboard for large, heavy luxury cars — the Eletre SUV and the Emeya GT — with dual motors and very fast DC charging as its hallmark. It is the premium branch of Geely's SEA family and is built in China; Lotus is so far the only brand on it. Honest for a consignment business: these are expensive, low-volume luxury cars whose residual value is an open question — check charging behaviour, software version and remaining warranty carefully.
SEA-S is the EV platform of Geely Group, in production since 2022, with a 800V architecture. The SEA-S platform carries 2 models from 1 brand. The WLTP range of the current variants on SEA-S runs from 410 to 610 km.
Pick the car first, then the version — chemistry, battery and drive differ per version.
