Bentley is preparing to present details of its first ever EV at a special presentation on November 7th.

The British company is one of the final brands yet to release anything fully electric and in 2020, plans were announced regarding the launch of its first EV in 2025 as part of a five-year plan. This was then delayed until 2026 in favour of a standalone electric model, with Bentley prioritising investment into its plug-in hybrid range.

A fully electric lineup, initially slated for 2030, is now expected to arrive in 2033.

The presentation will be streamed live from Bentley’s recently renovated base in Cheshire. New Chairman and CEO Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser will give his first public media briefing with members of the Bentley board. A live Q&A session will follow the briefing.

The presentation will take place at 2pm on November 7th, available to watch via www.bentleymedia.com/livestream
