The 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre, an all-electric luxury car, has surpassed expectations with its EPA range. It can travel up to 291 miles on a single charge with its 22-inch wheels, exceeding the initial estimate of 260+ miles. This figure, however, is still less than the 323-mile range estimated under Europe’s WLTP standards, which tend to be higher than the EPA’s.

The vehicle has four variations with slightly different specifications

This impressive vehicle comes in four variations, each with a different range based on wheel size and design. The 23-inch wheel version has a 266-mile range, while the Black Badge edition offers 280 miles with 22-inch wheels and 264 miles with 23-inch wheels. Although these numbers are respectable, they don’t quite match up to the longest-range luxury models like the Lucid Air or Mercedes-Benz EQS.

Under the hood, the Spectre is powered by a 102-kilowatt-hour battery, hinting at a shared battery pack with the BMW i7. This connection isn’t surprising, considering Rolls-Royce is part of the BMW Group. The battery supports fast charging, reaching 80% in just 34 minutes. The BMW i7 xDrive60, for comparison, has a range of 298-317 miles, depending on the wheel size.

The Rolls-Royce Spectre boasts a dual-motor, all-wheel drive powertrain, delivering 430 kilowatts and up to 900 Nm of torque. This power enables it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, a remarkable feat given its weight of 6,559 lbs.

In terms of energy consumption, the Spectre with 22-inch wheels is estimated at 81 MPGe, or about 416 watt-hours per mile. The 23-inch wheel version consumes 9.3% more energy. This increased consumption is expected due to its larger wheels and heavier build. The Black Badge edition consumes slightly more energy, reducing its range, but offering a distinct style that may appeal to certain buyers.
