Honestly, who’s surprised by this declaration at this point?
One of the latest fashion trends for automotive CEOs is to declare boldly either at a big gathering or during an interview with a big publication that your company is committing to an all-electric future by a certain date. The latest to jump on the bandwagon is Rolls-RoyceCEO Torsten Muller-Otvos while talking to Autocar recently.

The drop-dead date for Rolls-Royce to go all-electric is 2030. Why 2030, you might ask? Well, it could have something to do with some places pushing to end ICE vehicle sales by then or 2035. Also, it’s a nice big round number plus it’s far enough away that a future CEO can pull the plug on the plan long after Muller-Otvos looks like some sort of hero in his friend circles.
For now, the V12 engine is safe in the revised Series 2 Phantom, Ghost, and Cullinan. However, by the close of 2030 the only way you’ll supposedly be able to get one of these storied British luxury cars is with a giant battery pack and one or more electric motors.
