Rolls-Royce will produce only electric cars by 2030, the luxury carmaker said on Wednesday, joining other premium brands making the switch such as Volkswagenโ€™s Bentley and Jaguarโ€™s Land Rover.

The BMW-owned brand said in a statement that its first fully electric powered car, named โ€˜Spectreโ€™, will be on the market in the fourth quarter of 2023, with testing to begin soon.
โ€œWith this new product we set out our credentials for the full electrification of our entire product portfolio by 2030, said Torsten Muller-Otvos, CEO of Rolls-Royce, which is based in the south of England.
โ€œBy then, Rolls-Royce will no longer be in the business of producing or selling any internal combustion engine products,โ€ Muller-Otvos added.
BMW has not set an end date for producing fossil fuel burning cars, instead setting a goal of 50% electric vehicle production by 2030, but its subsidiary Mini said in March it would go all-electric by the end of the decade.
The Jaguar brand of Tata Motorsโ€™ Jaguar Land Rover will go all-electric by 2025, Volkswagen AGโ€™ luxury unit Bentley Motors by 2030, and Mercedes Benz maker Daimler by the same year, if market conditions allow.
