The Rimac Nevera is an extreme electric car. Not only has it broken several world records (including the world's fastest production car), but it is also extremely fast when it comes to charging. With up to 500 kW, the vehicle's charging power is even higher than the 350 kW offered by Ionity's fast chargers.
The Nevera's battery consists of lithium-ion cells with nickel-manganese cell chemistry. This makes it possible to achieve an energy content of 120 kWh, giving the hyper sports car a range of up to 490 kilometers according to WLTP, despite its power. At an Ionity charging point (i.e. with a peak of 350 kW), the Nevera should be able to charge from zero to 80 percent in 25 minutes.
“When people think of Rimac, they think of the record-breaking performance that the Nevera delivers, as well as the groundbreaking technologies at the heart of the company,” said Mate Rimac, founder and CEO of Rimac Group. “Yet, the Nevera was primarily developed as a hyper GT (Gran Turismo), rather than a track-focused car – it is a user-friendly hypercar. The collaboration with IONITY allows us to take this experience to the next level.”
Ionity currently operates more than 500 sites in 24 countries. Another will be added soon: As part of the collaboration, Ionity will also operate an HPC charging park on the Rimac campus near Zagreb, Croatia. Once completed, six Ionity posts will be available for public use around the clock.
“Ionity has set the standards in ultra-fast charging and a seamless user experience across Europe,” commented CEO Michael Hajesch. “The partnership with Rimac perfectly reflects our endeavour for performance, reliability, and sustainability. It is based on common values and the pioneering work we do in our respective fields to enable and advance electric mobility.”
