The Rolls-Royce Spectre, the fourth car based on Rolls’ own Architecture of Luxury, is a stunning testament to electric luxury. Its dual-motor configuration, with 255bhp at the front and 483bhp at the rear, combines for an impressive 577bhp and a torque of 900Nm, enabling the Spectre to sprint to 60mph in just 4.4 seconds.

The Spectre is powered by a substantial 1107.0 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, contributing to a curb weight nearing three tonnes. Despite its mass, Rolls-Royce claims an impressive range of 329 miles. The battery supports rapid charging at up to 195kW, facilitating a swift 10 to 80 percent charge in a mere 34 minutes.

Opening the rear-hinged, 1.5-metre-long doors reveals a sumptuously appointed cabin, unmistakably Rolls-Royce. The Spectre’s materials exude opulence, from the soft, double-stitched leather on the dash to the exquisite wood inserts. Priced starting at £330,000, it is a testament to the brand’s commitment to luxury.

The interior accommodates four six-footers comfortably, although the boot space is modest at 380 liters, with 50 reserved for cable storage beneath the floor.

On the road, the Spectre impresses with its refined steering, remarkable low-speed and cruising quietness, and seamless brake-pedal modulation. The electric vehicle’s instant-torque capabilities make for smooth driving, and it hits 60mph effortlessly.

However, the Spectre exhibits some inconsistency in its on-road behavior. While it handles twisty roads admirably, the ride can feel unsettled in town, a challenge likely amplified by the combination of 23-inch wheels and a hefty three-tonne weight.

The Spectre introduces some hit-and-miss EV-specific features, such as artificial ‘motion noise’ that can be toggled off. The brake-energy regen mode, activated by a ‘B’ button, offers single-pedal driving but requires careful modulation to avoid abrupt transitions.

In conclusion, the Rolls-Royce Spectre stands as a remarkable electric luxury vehicle, with its exquisite design, top-notch materials, and impressive performance. However, its on-road behavior and some EV-specific features present nuances that may influence driver preferences

Home And Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

A public charging station is required to use the highest possible charging rate. The EVSE/charging station’s charging capacity affects how long it takes to fully charge the battery. The table below shows all possible options for fully charging the Rolls-Royce Spectre.

In Europe, plugging an electric car into an outlet is often as easy as plugging it into a household outlet, but there are differences from country to country. The table below shows the different ways to charge the Rolls-Royce Spectre, but in some countries, some chargers may not be available.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)

If you want to enjoy driving an electric car, one of the most important features to consider is the number of miles per hour the car can travel while charged. This is called the “range” of the car. All electric cars have a certain range, even if they are 100% charged. This is because they do not have an internal combustion engine to lean on if you need to drive a long distance.
