Rolls Royce plans on to build the 102EX (also known as the Phantom Experimental Electric (EE))it is an experimental Rolls Royce. Primarily designed to spark debate about whether luxury car manufacturers could and should provide cars which use electric, or other alternate drive-train technologies. The secondary function is to allow Rolls Royce to gain insight into the workings of possible future electric Rolls Royce cars. The Rolls Royce 102EX will be powered by a 96 cell lithium-ion battery instead of the 6.75 liter V12 petrol engine used in the Phantom. This battery system is used in conjucntion with two water-cooled motors and 3-phase battery chargers. In contrast, the interior design is largely the same as that used in the current Phantom model. A twelve month world tour to show off the car and test it in different conditions around the world, will terminate in 2012. Rolls-Royce is planning not to create a consumer model based on the 102EX at this time.
