Bentley's first EV is being developed alongside a similar Audi model on Volkswagen Group's SSP platform.
Hallmark said despite the delay, which he said in reality will only be a few months as opposed to a full year, Bentley will still reveal the EV in 2025.
He didn't say whether the delay will also result in Bentley missing its target of having a full-electric lineup by 2030, a target that was first announced in 2020. Interestingly, Hallmark said Bentley is in the unique position where an EV battery is actually cheaper than the engines Bentley uses in its cars.
“The average battery is less than our 12-cylinder engine,” he told Automotive News. “I can't wait for batteries, they’re cheap in relative terms.”
