With a 195 kW (DC) fast charger, the charging time from 10-80% is 34 minutes. This charging system will also produce a sufficient charge for 100km in around nine (9) minutes.

9) Competitors
The Rolls-Royce Spectre will compete with all-electric flagships like the $300,000 Cadillac Celestiq EV. But its closest rival will be an all-electric car from Bentley, which the brand will be bringing to market in 2025.
