Rimac Expands Beyond Supercars With New Solid-State Battery and EV Powertrain Line

Rimac Technology, best known for creating record-breaking electric hypercars, is taking a major step toward becoming a global supplier of EV technology. At the IAA Mobility show in Munich, the Croatian company unveiled a new lineup of products, including a solid-state battery platform and a range of advanced electric drive systems.

The new battery pack, built with solid-state cells from ProLogium and materials from Mitsubishi Chemical Group, marks Rimac’s move into next-generation energy storage. The design promises higher energy density, improved safety, and reduced weight compared to conventional lithium-ion packs. Solid-state batteries have long been viewed as the future of EV power, offering faster charging, longer range, and better longevity. While many automakers are still developing their own versions, Rimac’s “Next-Gen” platform is positioned to help manufacturers integrate the technology more easily.

Alongside the new battery tech, Rimac introduced its “Evo” and “Hybrid” pack lines aimed at near-term production vehicles. The Evo series uses 46XX Gen2 NMC cells in a thermoplastic composite housing co-developed with Kautex Textron, while the Hybrid line focuses on modularity across multiple vehicle types.

Rimac also launched a new family of electric drive units. The SINTEG 300 and 550 e-axles feature ultra-light rotors and a unique magnet configuration, achieving over 8 kW per kilogram of power density and more than 90 Nm per kilogram of torque density. Capable of rotor speeds up to 25,000 rpm, these drive units can power everything from compact performance cars to SUVs. For larger applications, a dual-motor “XXL” axle boasting over 11,000 Nm of torque will enter series production in 2026.

With two Croatian sites and a €200 million campus supporting large-scale production, Rimac is clearly positioning itself as more than a boutique supercar maker—it’s aiming to become a key player in the EV supply chain.
