This solid-state battery promises ultra-fast charging, higher energy density and safety
Afull charge in less than 10 minutes sounds unlikely, especially when today cars usually take hours to charge, or at least tens of minutes for fast charging. That is why the promise of a new generation of solid-state batteries with ultra-fast charging has caused equal parts amazement and skepticism.
This new battery seeks to completely transform the experience of drivers, as it aims to reduce waiting times to less than seven minutes, while offering more range, greater safety and less weight compared to current cylindrical cell packs. It is an ambitious project, unlike many others in the electric car industry
This new solid-state battery was unveiled by Rimac at the IAA Mobility in Munich, Germany, and promises to transform the way drivers relate to their vehicles.
The development comes from Rimac Technology, a Croatian company renowned for its focus on high-performance electric mobility. In collaboration with ProLogium and Mitsubishi Chemical Group, the firm presented this battery pack as a revolutionary breakthrough that could be a game-changer in the coming years.
In addition to the solid-state package, Rimac showed the evolution of its liquid cylindrical cells, although it made it clear that the new solid-state battery offers far superior specifications in efficiency, weight and energy density.
Although we will not see this battery on the streets tomorrow, the plan is for it to start being integrated into high-performance electric vehicles by the fourth quarter of 2027.
This battery could reach luxury cars of different brands, as Rimac already works as a first-tier supplier for prestigious manufacturers such as BMW Group and Porsche, reinforcing the expectation that this innovation could soon reach production models.
