Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)
Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Rolls-Royce Spectre. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.
Europe
Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the Rolls-Royce Spectre can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.
| Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196) |
|---|
 |
| Charging Point | Max. Power | Power | Time | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wall Plug (2.3 kW) | 230V / 1x10A | 2.3 kW | 52h15m | 9 km/h |
| 1-phase 16A (3.7 kW) | 230V / 1x16A | 3.7 kW | 32h30m | 14 km/h |
| 1-phase 32A (7.4 kW) | 230V / 1x32A | 7.4 kW | 16h15m | 29 km/h |
| 3-phase 16A (11 kW) | 400V / 3x16A | 11 kW | 11 hours | 42 km/h |
| 3-phase 32A (22 kW) | 400V / 3x32A | 22 kW † | 5h30m | 85 km/h |
† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.
Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)
Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Rolls-Royce Spectre.
- Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
- Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
- Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
- Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%
| Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2) |
|---|
 |
| Charging Point | Max. Power | Avg. Power | Time | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CCS (50 kW DC) | 50 kW | 50 kW | 90 min | 210 km/h |
| CCS (100 kW DC) | 100 kW | 85 kW † | 53 min | 360 km/h |

| This vehicle does not support Plug & Charge |
† = Limited by charging capabilities of vehicle
Autocharge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations.
Plug & Charge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations in accordance with ISO 15118.
Actual charging rates may differ from data shown due to factors like outside temperature, state of the battery and driving style.

About this Vehicle
# Rolls-Royce Spectre: The Ultimate Luxury Electric Coupe
Rolls-Royce Spectre Overview
The Rolls-Royce Spectre represents a historic milestone as the first fully electric vehicle to bear the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy badge, marking the British luxury automaker’s definitive entry into the EV era. This ultra-premium two-door coupe targets discerning collectors and luxury enthusiasts who demand uncompromising elegance combined with cutting-edge electric performance. The Spectre embodies Rolls-Royce’s philosophy of effortless power and refined craftsmanship, featuring a fastback silhouette with sculpted lines that define modern automotive artistry.
Positioned at the apex of the luxury electric vehicle segment, the Rolls-Royce Spectre distinguishes itself through its dual-motor all-wheel-drive architecture, bespoke customization options, and the brand’s legendary commitment to handcrafted excellence. Unlike conventional sports coupes, the Spectre prioritizes a serene, commanding presence over aggressive athleticism. The vehicle’s 102.0-kWh battery—borrowed from the BMW i7—powers an exceptionally smooth driving experience that epitomizes Rolls-Royce’s “effortless performance” philosophy. With pricing starting at $422,750, the Spectre caters to an exclusive clientele seeking the pinnacle of electric luxury.
Rolls-Royce Spectre Performance and Driving Experience
The Rolls-Royce Spectre delivers commanding acceleration through its sophisticated dual-motor setup, with the standard configuration producing 577 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. The Black Badge variant elevates performance to 650 horsepower and 793 pound-feet, unlocking an “Infinity Mode” that sharpens throttle response and delivers formidable force at the press of a steering wheel button. Despite its substantial 6,443-pound curb weight, the Spectre accelerates with authority—0-60 mph arrives in just 3.7 seconds, with quarter-mile capability reaching 12.0 seconds at 116 mph.
The Rolls-Royce Spectre prioritizes refined handling over corner-carving dynamics, featuring all-wheel drive with independent front and rear motors for balanced weight distribution. The suspension employs control arms and multilink geometry, delivering a composed ride that emphasizes comfort over sportiness. Real-world testing confirms this is a grand tourer engineered for relaxed cruising rather than track performance, with a top speed governed at 155 mph.
