Rimac’s New Battery Slashes EV Charging Time to Just Minutes

New Technologies from Rimac at the Munich Motor Show

Rimac Technology presented innovative e-axles and next-generation solid-state batteries at the Munich Motor Show. These components are planned for implementation in production in the coming years and will be used by various automakers.

Solid-State Batteries

Rimac collaborated with ProLogium and Mitsubishi Chemical Group to create a solid-state battery that significantly improves energy density and safety. The new battery has a capacity of 100 kWh and an energy density of 260 Wh/kg. The most impressive feature is the ability to fast charge from 10% to 80% in just 6.5 minutes.

If all goes according to plan, this battery will become available in the fourth quarter of 2027. Although specific automakers have not yet been named, Rimac has partnership relationships with brands such as BMW and Porsche.

Other Battery Developments

The company also introduced the Evo battery, planned for release in mid-2026. It also has a capacity of 100 kWh but a lower energy density of 213 Wh/kg. The charging time from 10% to 80% for this model is over 16 minutes.

Furthermore, Rimac demonstrated two hybrid batteries, including a scalable unit that will appear early next year. Its capacity can range from 1 to 17 kWh. The company also mentioned interchangeable cell configurations and an integrated cell-to-pack architecture with advanced safety and thermal management features.

E-Axles

In addition to batteries, Rimac introduced the Sinteg 300 and 550 e-axles, designed for performance vehicles—from hatchbacks to SUVs. They develop power from 201 hp (150 kW) to 483 hp (360 kW). Production of the 550 model will begin next year.

“What we are demonstrating at the IAA is the result of combining breakthrough innovations with readiness for series production. These are not just concept technologies—they are developed as ready solutions that will power hundreds of thousands of vehicles in the coming years,” stated Rimac Technology’s Chief Operating Officer, Nordin Pitatarević.

These developments could significantly accelerate the transition to electric vehicles, as reducing charging time and improving battery efficiency are key for the mass consumer. Furthermore, partnerships with major automakers indicate trust in Rimac’s technologies and their market potential.
