Currently test versions of the Eletre can drive for over 120 miles in mixed conditions without intervention. That number is constantly increasing, with the ultimate goal being\u00a0100,000km (62,150 miles) per intervention &#8211; effectively meaning no human interaction will be required whatsoever.<\/p>\n<section class=\"relatedContent-new\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"related-content\" data-widget-size=\"content\" data-params=\"%7B%22type_id%22%3A0%2C%22title_id%22%3A%22%22%2C%22items%22%3A%5B%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22662998%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Lotus%20Shows%20Off%20Robotic%20500%20kW%20EV%20Charging%20System%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22lotus-shows-off-robotic-500kw-ev-charger%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%220%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2FOo3vky%2Fs5%2Flotus-eletre-charging.jpg%22%7D%7D%2C%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22660098%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Lotus%20Starts%20Customer%20Deliveries%20Of%20Eletre%20Electric%20SUV%20In%20China%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22lotus-starts-customer-deliveries-of-eletre-electric-suv-in-china%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%220%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2FE66zwv%2Fs5%2Flotus-eletre-at-goodwood-fos-2022.jpg%22%7D%7D%5D%7D\">   <\/section>\n<p>The Eletre, which is now on sale in China, will constantly improve its autonomy thanks to OTA (Over-The-Air) updates.
