Everything you need to know about the new 2023 Rolls-Royce Spectre – the first all-electric Roller
It's real. The plan to put an all-electric Rolls-Royce on sale before the end of 2023 is on track, with one-quarter of the Spectre's pre-production testing mileage now complete.
The Spectre's electronics involve 141,200 sender-receiver relations, according to Rolls-Royce. It has more than 1000 functions with more than 25,000 sub-functions. To put that in context, the current Phantom has 51,000 sender-receiver relations, 456 functions and 647 sub-functions. And the amount of in-car cabling has gone up from 1.25 miles to more than four miles.
'Our task is to teach each component and system how to think, behave and communicate like a Rolls-Royce, which sees much of the engineering pivot from workshops into the digital space,' says engineering director Mihiar Ayoubi. 'Here in Arjeplog we have built a significant foundation on which we will create a true Rolls-Royce.
At this stage Rolls-Royce is saying nothing about the power output, tech spec or performance. It’s also not talking about what will be shared with the rest of the BMW Group, beyond stressing that it uses a version of the Rolls-exclusive aluminium spaceframe architecture that debuted with the Phantom in 2017 and has subsequently been used on the Cullinan and Ghost.
He praises Tesla for both its products and its foresight in setting up its own Supercharger network. ‘Infrastructure is not a problem for us,’ said Müller-Ötvös, ‘but the infrastructure for public charging needs to grow massively.’ Goodwood-era Rolls-Royce has been working on EVs for more than a decade. The 2011 102EX was a one-off electric Phantom, with a lithium-ion battery and twin electric motors driving the rear wheels. It was used as a rolling test bed and to gauge reaction. And that reaction was unequivocal: the range was too short, charging too slow and the three-year battery life a nuisance.
