Rolls‑Royce Unveils Spectre Series II With Bigger Battery and NACS Charging

The update signals a push to improve owners' everyday usability through re‑engineered battery cells with higher usable capacity and native Tesla‑style charging access.

Overview

  • Rolls‑Royce unveiled the Spectre Series II this week, promoting an 18% WLTP range gain driven by re‑engineered battery cells and a rise in usable capacity to about 112.4 kWh.
  • The company says charging times are roughly 14% faster and that U.S. models adopt the NACS inlet to allow access to Tesla Superchargers and other NACS networks.
  • Performance is up across the range, with the standard car near 593 hp and the Black Badge delivering up to about 670 hp in its high‑output mode, which Rolls‑Royce calls the marque’s most powerful production model.
  • Exterior design is almost unchanged while Bespoke interior options expand dramatically, including a new Duality Twill bamboo fabric, placed‑perforation leather artworks, and a full‑width illuminated fascia of 8,108 light points.
  • Key claims come from Rolls‑Royce and use WLTP figures; independent EPA numbers, detailed charging curves, pricing and full delivery timing vary by market and remain to be confirmed.
