Rolls-Royce Rolls Out Electric Concept Car

Posted by Mitchell Flexo on March 4, 2011 in Transportation

Is "sustaina-baller" a word? It is now. The new Rolls-Royce 102EX Phantom Experimental Vehicle, unveiled this week at the Geneva Auto Show, provides the definition. The next-gen electric concept car will employ an aluminum chassis and two 145kW electric motors, making it only a tad slower than the standard Phantom. The largest battery pack ever used in a road car will give the lux EV a 125 mile range. The batteries can be quick charged in 8 hours, fully charged in 20 hours, and even wirelessly charged. With a zero-sixty time of under 8 seconds, the 102EX is the ultimate eco-friendly-i'm a boss-automobile. All you need is a spare $1.6 million and it can become a reality in your dream garage.
