Driving the one-and-only electric Rolls-Royce

The name, 102EX, comes from the age of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars at the time this car was built -- 102 -- and EX for "experimental."

Rolls-Royce claims a total driving range of 125 miles following a full eight-hour charge. If true, that's remarkable, considering this car weights almost 6,000 pounds, or about 500 pounds more than a Chevrolet Tahoe SUV.

The 102EX can be recharged by either plugging it in through the elegant-looking charge port, shown here, or by using "induction charging." Induction charging works without cables or plugs. The car is simply parked in a special parking space and electricity is transferred magnetically between the ground and the car.
