Your Definitive Guide to the Rolls Royce Spectre Series II Electric Car Lease

The Rolls Royce Spectre Series II Electric Car Lease - Your Definitive Guide

Charging for electric cars has never been on the agenda more than it has in 2026. The underlying cost of electricity (fuel) for our new and used EVs is now a key consideration for personal and business leasing customers alike.

The big push into an all-electric vehicle is being fuelled, excuse the pun, by the exorbitant prices at petrol stations around the UK. No longer is an EV an expensive purchase; it is a sage and necessary financial decision. The running costs are where the big wins are.

So for Northern Ireland Assembly members (MLAs) to be able to enjoy free charging at Stormont, is a positive benefit for the Parliamentary staff. As the BBC reports the free charging for staff is being met with mixed opinions, with some public concern over the spend and expenditure vs the underlying impetus to set examples for sustainable travel within public office.

Introducing the new Rolls Royce Spectre Series II Electric Car Lease

While this is almost certainly icing on the cake for the relevant persons in Northern Ireland, it does bring us onto a pertinent point around the charging capabilities of EVs. Even more so, when new and exciting cars like the Spectre II from Rolls Royce are coming to the UK.

As we will discuss in a later guide, the volume of charge points in the UK (as at June 2026) is robustly covered by  Zap Map . Much of the significance of this facility is to help identify public charging and set out the developing public infrastructure, like the 874 new EV chargers installed during May 2026.

But AC charging is something which both personal and business customers also need to review, as the rapid / DC charging is usually the only contested element of the process. The AC (Alternating Current) is the most commonly used aspect on the EV as this covers the home / domestic and workplace charging sessions.

Most EVs will now be able to achieve a charging power of 7kW, which is commensurate to the capabilities of your domestic electrics. Most UK home chargers are a single-phase 32-amp connection for a max of 7.4kW. What this means is that your EV will charge at a power rate of around 7kW per hour of connection.

Taking the Rolls Royce EV, with a substantial 112.4kWh battery, going from empty to 100% would be an 18-hour process. While this does seem to be a long time, consider that a standard domestic UK wall plug connection (2.3kW) would be 55 – 60 hours! 

While almost all standard UK properties are limited to the 7.4kW, which is commensurate to the 7.4kW AC onboard charger in most electric cars, there are now improvements taking place. More and more EVs are now able to offer onboard chargers with 11kW or 22kW AC as standard or as an additional option (it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer).

For a domestic situation, you may think why does this really matter? In most cases it doesn’t, with domestic electrics limited to the 7.4kW output. However, for workplaces and other commercial solutions, charge points are more flexible. With the ability for 3-phase, which means 3 alternating currents, there is a capability for a high efficient flow of energy, as there is no voltage drop.

With a 16-amp solution (for 11kW) and 32-amp solution (for 22kW) available, EVs with the relevant infrastructure and capability can connect to them. Taking the Rolls Royce EV, with a substantial 112.4kWh battery, going from empty to 100% would be just over 12 hours on 11kW and just 6 hours on 22kW.

When you consider that the charging unit for a 22kW AC charge point is far more affordable (£1000 - £5000 per point) compared to a 50kW DC charger (at £10,000 – £25,000 per point), there are rational economic decisions for employers, landlords and commercial property developers to consider them.

For the driver, being aware of their charging capability is key for when they are choosing the right connection. For example, if you are visiting a retail park, shopping centre or train station, knowing that an 11kW or 22kW AC point is available for your resource is clearly important.  

The Rolls Royce brand, with their new Spectre Series II , are looking to build on growing education, confidence and support for EVs as they push their revised luxury BEV.

Considering a near £350,000 starting price for this ultimate in zero-emission travel, having a buoyant and understanding market is key. Beauty and unbridled strength, this car is centred around a responsive drive, intuitive connection and the passion which any RR customer demands.

The vehicle has been made to add greater perfection and more expensive surfaces creating fastback form and sculpted lines. For a customer looking to “commission” a model, the Rolls Royce team are on hand to create the perfect product via their bespoke digital tools.

While you can add or alter to an almost unbelievable level, the standard product arrives with a host of class. Aero-two tone roof, configurable coachline, 23” alloys, painted brake callipers, the Spirit of Ecstasy emblem, illuminated grille, bespoke leather interior and roof liner, ventilated seats, high gloss veneer wood trim, illuminated fascia.

Technical bespoke clock, Bespoke audio, parking assistant plus, advanced driver systems and signature key. Alternatively, consider the Black Badge which not only arrives in the new Ethereal Blue but offers performance and power which can only be described as “earth-shattering.”

Sculpted for performance and comfort, for those with a budget, this could be your ideal approach. Take a look at the Rolls Royce electric Black Badge option.

How does the Spectre II performance – is it as good as they say?

•  112.4 kWh lithium-ion battery will offer 0 – 62 times of 4.5 seconds, 155mph top speeds and 442kW (or 593hp). This model is an AWD option. Expect a combined winter range of 270 miles with warmer weather allowing for 360 miles – 320 miles combined. On charging, the 22 kW AC max will allow 6 hour 0 – 100% charging times with the 195 kW DC maximum allowing 29 minute 10 – 80% times. This has a cargo volume of 380L and vehicle fuel equivalent of 115 mpg. Towing is not available. The heat pump is available as a standard option. Bidirectional charging is not available.
