Rimac Technology, an engineering firm born out of a Croatian hypercar manufacturer, promises to take electric vehicles to a new level. Challenges such as range, fire safety and charging time may soon become a thing of the past.

Context and background

Rimac Technology, a division of a well-known hypercar manufacturer, is working intensively on modern solid-state batteries intended to revolutionise the EV market. In partnership with ProLogium and Mitsubishi, the company is pushing to introduce this technology in a new Bugatti model as early as 2030.

Electric car power and range

The new 100 kWh battery outperforms current solutions, delivering 20-30% higher energy density. As a result, more power fits into a smaller space, which is key to efficiency. A lightweight composite construction from Mitsubishi further reduces the pack weight by 30 kg.

Charging and infrastructure

Rimac batteries offer not only greater safety but also faster charging. Although the company does not plan to mass-produce cheap batteries, it is opening the door to cooperation with larger manufacturers who would like to licence this technology.

Technologies and equipment

Rimac focuses not only on batteries but also on electric drive axles that combine the motor, transmission and control electronics. Their design can be adapted to different drivetrain layouts, offering power from 149 kW to 350 kW.

Market position and competition

Rimac's customers include automotive giants such as BMW and Porsche, as well as emerging startups such as Saudi Arabia's CEER. Rimac continues to develop its technologies, tailoring them to the needs of a diverse range of customers and models.

Summary

Rimac's innovations target premium customers seeking the highest quality and performance. Thanks to modern technologies, the company gains an edge over the competition, offering products that are not only efficient but also future-oriented. Rimac focuses on modernity and quality, making it an ideal choice for enthusiasts of technological innovation.
