World Most Expensive battery operating car, Rolls Royce's Phantom 102EX

Rolls Royce enter the Electric Car category with new launched The Phantom 102EX , an electric version of the Rolls Royce’s Top-of-the-line model.

This car is powered by the world’s largest electric car battery, weighing 640 kg. It has a range of 125 miles. The batteries can be charged quickly — in about eight hours — but if you want to conserve battery life, you’ll need to take the slower route and leave the car charging for more than 20 hours.

The car’s battery is charged simply by parking the car over special pads buried in the ground. The technology, called induction charging, uses magnetic coupling instead of a regular cable at 90% energy conversion efficiency. It works like your Braun Electric Tooth Brush at home invented 22 years ago.

The Phantom 102EX will reach 60 mph in less than eight seconds with a maximum speed of 100 mph — but slower than the regular Phantom, whose V12 engine brings the car to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds.

Price? Wow, estimated to be of HKD$12,700,000.00! Not too much for a Snob, as this is the price of two 3 wrist watches…! Hmm!
