Rolls-Royce has engaged in various electric-focused initiatives involving high-end and ceremonial vehicles. The company launched Project Nightingale, an exclusive electric convertible experience for selected clients that emphasizes direct interaction with engineers and artisans. This program utilizes a unique sales model based on sketches rather than digital configurators.

Separately, the City of London Corporation converted its official 1973 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI limousine to electric power through Oxfordshire-based Electrogenic. Part of a net-zero initiative, the reversible conversion features a 120kW motor and a 62kWh battery. The vehicle includes a ‘Ceremonial’ driving mode designed for slow, graceful movement during civic processions.
