Rolls-Royce Spectre EV: everything you need to know
Torsten Müller-Ötvös owns the electric transition. Look the Rolls-Royce chief executive in the eye to catch even a hint of doubt and you’ll fail. He means it. He wants it. Rolls-Royce is going electric by the end of the decade not because there’s a BMW group directive or because Boris Johnson has set a timetable, but because it’s the right thing to do. And because he thinks founders Henry Royce and Charles Rolls would have wanted it. Now, 120 years on, he can make it happen.
Isn’t range a worry? No. Müller-Ötvös reckons Rolls owners typically live in city centres and use their Rollers for short journeys. ‘If you’re not allowed to enter city centres in a Rolls-Royce, game over. Look around London: those Rolls-Royces are all privately owned. We need to keep building the cars these clients want.’
Although current Rolls-Royces have low mpg and high CO2 figures, Müller-Ötvös points out that 80 per cent of all the Rolls-Royces ever built are still on the road. He also hails the Goodwood factory as a model of sustainability that has cut its energy footprint per car by 29 per cent. 2016’s 103EX, with its aerodynamically adventurous retro-futurist design, was also electric, but the focus was more on its autonomous driving capability and the scope for personalisation than powertrains.
