As the crude oil reserves are going to be emptied in the future, the company is looking for the alternative drive trains, seeking suitable technologies for the future. Do you like to ride this new generation car. Isn’t it exciting to take a ride in this car!!!

Well, I am just a common person, but I think that my opinion might be shared with others that this is a very interesting proposition that Rolls has put out. Not that there is anything wrong with using electricity as propulsion, but I have to get past the first step of stepping foot inside of a Rolls Royce, regardless of how it is powered. I imagine this is for the aristocrat that is also being mindful of the earth as well. But I wonder, because this is a Rolls, and they are not known for fuel efficiency, how much electricity does it take to move one. This would be a technical feat to power the Phantom with electricity. Let's be honest, while there may be a few takers of the electric Roller ( I personally like the illuminated Spirit of Ecstasy on the hood), there will still be some people who are going to find ways to blow it off because they are not concerned about fuel economy in a car that few can afford. I would love to go to an award ceremony and laugh at those arriving in a Prius in that!

I am not going to assume that everyone who can afford a Rolls-Royce is like me but, when I spend that amount of money for a car, whatever kind it is, I want it to jump like a scared jackrabbit when I stomp on the gas pedal. It should be able to plaster my back to the seat, quickly.

I haven't seen this one yet, but I have seen a lot of others on the market. Most of them are not as good as one type I've seen. The ideal electric car should be very cheap, it should recharge its own cheap, readily available battery whilst driving, it should recharge it in such a way as to be in better-than-new condition & thus should have unlimited range without the need to recharge it via the mains or having to throw it away after a short service life & wreck the environment with dangerous, poisonous lithium batteries. Such an electric car does exist. An electric vehicle conversion on your old bomb will set you back as little as three thousand dollars & then fit a renaissance charger to it like in this video & all this can be yours. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19v_3N7iafo&
