# Electrified Luxury Rides (UPDATE) The Rolls Royce 102EX Phantom Makes Its Debut By Michael Hines | Published 2011-03-04 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rolls-royce-102ex References: [autoblog](http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/02/rolls-royce-102ex-concept-geneva-2011/) & [rolls-roycemotorcars](http://www.rolls-roycemotorcars.com/) A couple of weeks ago, I reported on the Rolls-Royce 102EX Phantom -- a car that, at the time, was known only by a few sample shots and not much else. Well the Geneva Motor Show is here, and as promised, the Rolls-Royce 102EX Phantom made its debut. The Rolls-Royce 102EX Phantom is all-electric-powered by two electric engines, each putting out 145 kilowatts. The eco-friendly Phantom is apparently no slouch on the track either, going from 0 - 60 in under eight seconds. That may not sound too impressive until you realize that the Rolls-Royce 102EX Phantom weighs a massive 6,000 pounds! The most interesting part about the Rolls-Royce 102EX Phantom is that it charges via electrical induction, forgoing the traditional plug-in design seen in almost all electric cars today. As of this writing, the Rolls-Royce 102EX Phantom is solely meant as a test car to see whether or not Rolls-Royce would like to pursue any eco-friendly endeavors in the future. Here's hoping they do. This car is perhaps the most luxurious electric car ever created. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Luxury Electric Cars:** The continued development of luxury electric cars provides opportunities for luxury car brands to offer eco-friendly options. - **Electric Car Performance:** Improvements in electric car performance, such as the Rolls-Royce Phantom's impressive acceleration despite its weight, may make electric cars more appealing to consumers. - **Wireless Charging:** The introduction of wireless charging technology in the Rolls-Royce Phantom creates a disruption opportunity for companies in the electric vehicle charging industry to incorporate this new technology into their products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Luxury Car Manufacturing:** Luxury car manufacturers have an opportunity to capitalize on the trend towards eco-friendly luxury cars and differentiate themselves in the market. - **Electric Car Manufacturing:** The continued growth of the electric car industry provides opportunities for innovation in design, performance, and technology. - **Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure:** The introduction of wireless charging technology in the Rolls-Royce Phantom creates a new industry opportunity for companies in the electric vehicle charging infrastructure sector to incorporate this new technology into their products and services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Luxury Super-Coupes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rolls-royce.md) - [Style-Refined Luxury Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantom-series.md) - [Trailblazing Luxury Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-electric-suv.md) - [Electrified Classic Saloon Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saloon-car.md) - [High-Powered Electric Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexus-bev-sports.md) - [All-Electric Luxury Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allelectric-luxury-car.md) - [Minimalist Luxury Sedan Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollsroyce-concept.md) - [Bespoke Cherry Blossom Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollsroyce-phantom-cherry-blossom.md) - [Luxury-Focused Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/q8-etron.md)
