Rolls-Royce will launch its second EV this year

Rolls-Royce has confirmed that their second EV will be launched later this year.

The luxury British brand released their first effort into the EV market in 2022; the Spectre.

Now, they are gearing up to showcase their second entry into the ever-present EV market. It is, at this moment, an unnamed model.

Here’s everything we know so far.

This exciting news came from an interview given by Rolls-Royce Motors Cars CEO Chris Brownridge, who set tongues wagging with his fascinating – if sparse – comments.

He said: “There will be another electric Rolls-Royce this year.”

That’s all we need to know, really.

Brownridge addressed the positive feedback received from the release of the new Spectre, saying: “What we’ve seen is that it delivers a remarkable…experience in the silent drive, the waftability, the ease of driving.”

In fact, the Spectre has been an extremely successful release.

Production of this car was sold out from 2022 until this year.

Brownridge further added that: “Feedback from our clients has been overwhelmingly positive about it, and so what that has told us very clearly is that as the world moves to electrification, we can make remarkable Rolls-Royces.”

Interestingly, Chris Brownridge was quizzed on whether the company plans to introduce hybrids.

The CEO was emphatic in his answer – Rolls Royce have no plan to introduce hybrid models.

The British luxury brand are also emphatic in sticking to their goal to phase out combustion models by 2030.

It remains to be seen whether the goal of completely phasing out combustion models is viable by 2030, but it will be very interesting to see whether the EV market grows enough to make such a target genuinely sustainable.
