The Phantom Experimental Electric or the Rolls Royce 102EX is a curiosity engineering test-bed which perceives the normal V12 6.75-litre engine and auto box replaced by an enormous battery set and twin-electric motor forcing the rear wheels.
Rolls Royce says the 102EX will invest all of those other year on the global tour with the purpose of getting feedback from ‘owners, VIPs, media and enthusiasts’.
The 71kWh battery power is created from a NCM (Lithium-Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese-Oxide) pouch cells. You will find a total of 96 cells considering weight 640kg, 90kg more compared to combined mass of the transmission and conventional engine.
Three divided 3kW charger parts are fixed to the battery pack also it takes 20 hours to recharge for the huge battery. Making use of a three-phase electrical power it takes eight hours for full charge.
The 102EX also functions induction charging, making use of an induction pad rose under the floor. Placing the car on the transmitter pad, which fixed in the surface of road, permits the battery will be recharged in a slit of 150mm.
This giant battery power drives a set of electric motors, which are installed on the trunk sub frame, and housed in the water jackets, themselves freezing by coolant pipe under the radiator.
The motor drives a single ratio transmission by having an integrated differential. Each and every motor is rated at 145kW but, far more importantly, together additionally they will deliver a massive 590lb ft of radius from standstill. As the ability from the motors is 48kW recorded on the same power from the V12, the torque crests to 59lb ft, also eleven percent, up.
The 102EX’s drive-train provides two strength of retardation when the motive force lifts off the accelerator pedal. ‘Standard’ delivers 120Nm of regenerative braking force and ‘Low’ a more neck-testing 210Nm.
The Phantom 102EX, was unearthed in the Geneva auto show, is the only experimental model. If there is sufficient interest, Rolls-Royce may possibly bring it into production. Greater start saving now, as the projected price for that vehicle is around $1.6 million.
