- Jason Momoa has recently transformed his vintage 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom II into an electric vehicle, courtesy of British EV specialists Electrogenic, thus prompting critics of electric restomods to expand their list of adversaries.
Touted as "the most ambitious and complex EV conversion ever undertaken," this nearly century-old vehicle underwent an eighteen-month transformation, leaving little room for skepticism regarding its claims.

I think it's great - as long as it's driven. It's better to be on the road than collecting dust in a museum or in a garage.
Just looking at Momoa with the car I feel like he drives it. I also feel like the electric conversion happened so he can drive it more
😊🙏 Thank You So Much for extending the useful life of this magnificent Rolls-Royce Phantom II beyond 2030 EU strict rules & regulations concerning the use of Internal Combustion Engines ( ICE ) in Europe & in other parts of the World! 🌷🌿🌍💖🕊
A vintage Rolls is the perfect platform or an EV conversion! These cars should be quiet, smooth, fast, reliable and without smells or mess. An EV conversion gives you all of those!
🤔 Nonsense !. Clearly you have never owned or driven a classic Rolls_Royce vehicle before......
@@alancrisp1582 You just told me above that an old Rolls should never be driven.
@@billbayer5526 you have taken my comment out of context. In any event maybe you should keep riding your bike 🚲 !! 👦.
Alright then, what exactly should the owner of a 1929 Rolls do with it?
You are correct, I have never driven or even ridden in a classic Rolls Royce but clearly you have never owned or driven an EV conversion before.
And since I'm wrong by thinking a Rolls should be quiet, smooth, fast, reliable and without smells or mess, it doesn't sound like something I want to do.
Do you have a vintage Rolls? I would absolutely love to see it and it would be wonderful and very enlightening if you were to make a video walk-around including a drive down some country roads.
Thanks in advance.
@@billbayer5526 my small collection of both Rolls_Royce and Bentley vehicles, all date from the 1990s. This is the last decade of the British designed and built Rolls_Royce - Bentley vehicles. Including Silver Seraph, and Silver Spirit mark IV, Bentley Brooklands etcetera. But I have been lucky enough to have been in some real old -school classic Rolls_Royce cars. Owned by fellow members of the New Zealand Rolls_Royce and Bentley club. In one word they are gorgeous !..I am guessing that you live a very long way from me !. Otherwise I would be happy 😊 to take you for a weekend drive in one of my cars, and yes I mean that. Regards to you....
It's like my grandpa with the power in his trousers of a young 25 guy😂
That thing still moves like a slug, could have had some one in LA swap a MS100d into that thing with 3 times the torque, and 7 additional kw of juice for another 30 or so miles of range.
Wtf that car should never been converted. If updated it should have a more modern rolls royce drive train. Not vw or BMW engine.
Why not? Very cool conversion.
@@ak47marx16for a brainless child. That was a piece of history
Should it just stay gas and never leave the garage?
@@billbayer5526yes, absolutely !!..
@@alancrisp1582 so what's the point of having it?
shame on you the Rolls Royce engine needs to be put back in
Shameful. A piece of motoring history ruined .Charles Rolls and sir Henry Royce would be turning in their graves knowing who was driving their cars now.
He destroyed that car....damn shame....but it is his to do with it what he wants.
😢 He doesn't deserve to own such a once beautiful vehicle !..
The car has not been cut up. The original drivetrain can be reinstalled just like it was.
@@SeanWhite would not go near this destroyed vehicle. It is now worth noting to collectors !..
@@alancrisp1582 You may want to read how it was done. The car itself is untouched. And can be put back to factory anytime. That's what this company specializes in.
@@alancrisp1582it’s worth noting now to anyone.
The only issue I can see is the stupid replacement for the Spirit of Ecstasy. Aquaman was NOT that good of a film. Not even a little bit.
😢 Poor Henry Royce must be turning in his grave !...
@@alancrisp1582 Wrong! You have no idea about luxury. A. Noisy rattling unreliable engine has nothing to do next to an eléctric motor, Silent, smooth an powerful.
@@victorbar3567 🤭😂 Really ? You a talking to a collector of old Rolls_Royce and Bentley vehicles. You just keep driving 🚘 your Toyota !!......
NO!!!
Very wrong!
Better to keep it gas and never drive it or convert it so it's useable and reliable?
😢 Very, very wrong. Poor Henry Royce must be turning in his grave !..sad 😔...
a wrong en what can one expect from one of Epstein’s boys
What a waste of money
he’s a waster himself so what can one expect from someone so highly unworthy of owning such a vehicle.
electric vehicles are more polluting than modern ice cars. The production of electricity and the batteries and mining is devastating for the environment. Here is another aspect you have not thought about. most electric cars are rolling giant computers. Let's say you belong to the wrong political party or voted for the wrong candidate, or you are late on your taxes, or the government does not want you to be able to travel where you want to go they can remotely shut down your car.
Control aside, what is the lifespan of a typical computer? Yeah... The more circuitry based hardware is installed in a car, the less reliable it becomes and harder and more costly to repair.
@Sidewayz455 there should only be enough computers to run the engine and transmission, abs brakes and air bags. Too many systems are run through body control modules that are not necessary. For example, headlights, taillights, climate Controls, radios and power windows and locks.
i feel sick now,, !!!!!!!!!!!!! what a shame,..... put the car down and free it from the disease it now carries........
😢 You and me both !. Poor Henry Royce must be turning in his grave ?. Sad 😔
@@alancrisp1582 thanks for that reply, just to know im not the only one, yeah respect for history., like you said he would be turning in his grave, im actully not that much of a petrol head , but that EV conversion was unacceptable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is just so stupid......
😢 And very, very sad 😔 indeed......
Momoa is a gum!
How very sad . Perhaps an adult will get the chance to reinstate the correct power train in the future .
