Some might wonder what the world is coming to with the announcement that Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has built an all-electric concept version of the Phantom. Full technical details on the 102EX will be revealed next week at the 2011 Geneva Auto Show.

Although Rolls-Royce says it has no intention of going into production with the 102EX, which is also known as the Phantom Experimental Electric, it plans to take the drivable car on tour around the world to gauge reaction from customers and other influencers.

In many situations I can see an electric Rolls-Royce meeting expectations for an ultra luxury sedan. It will undoubtedly deliver stunning low end torque allowing for the car to gracefully carry passengers in whisper-quiet comfort. Take for example, The Peninsula Hong Kong. The famous hotel has a fleet of Rolls-Royce motor cars that rarely travel very far and often spend most of the day parked in the hotel forecourt. In a situation like this, electrically-powered Rolls-Royce motor cars could always be charged and ready to roll in an instant.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has launched a special website to fuel a debate on the question of electric luxury vehicles.
