Rolls Royce 102EX (also known as the Phantom Experimental Electric (EE)); is an experimental Rolls Royce. Built as a rolling test bed as to the practicalities of alternative energy.

Powered by two 145-kilowatt motors, one at each rear wheel, for a total of 590 pound-feet of torque, the 102EX has a range of about 125 miles per charge. This battery system is used in conjunction with two water-cooled motors and 3-phase battery chargers.

Rolls Royce claims the 102EX has the largest passenger car battery in the world, with a peak current of 850A and overall capacity of 71kWh. Rolls Royce put the whole kit into the original engine and gearbox compartments of the Phantom, so there was no massive re-engineering of the vehicle's floorboards or chassis.

In contrast, the interior design is largely the same as that used in the current Phantom model. A twelve month world tour to show off the car and test it in different conditions, around the world, was due to terminate in 2012

It is reputed to have a top speed of around 100mph and a 0-60mph quicker than the 6.75ltr Phantom Coupe.

The plan to produce 102 EX was reported to be cancelled due to compromises in charging time and driving range
