The next-generation battery will be able to get an 80% charge in just 6.5 minutes
Rimac Technology has used the Munich motor show to unveil e-axles and their next-generation solid state battery. These components will arrive in the coming years and be used by various automakers.
Starting with batteries, Rimac teamed up with ProLogium and Mitsubishi Chemical Group to create a solid-state power source that pushes the “boundaries of energy density and safety.” The company’s “Next-Gen” battery appears to have a 100 kWh capacity as well as an energy density of 260 Wh/kg. More interestingly, the battery will be able to go from a 10-80% charge in 6.5 minutes using a fast charger.

If everything works out, the battery should be available in the fourth quarter of 2027. There’s no word on who will use it, but Rimac has a number of automotive partners including BMW and Porsche.
Rimac also showcased an Evo battery, which is scheduled to arrive in mid-2026. It also has a 100 kWh capacity, but a lower energy density of 213 Wh/kg. Clients can also expect to wait over 16 minutes for the battery to go from 10-80% when using a fast charger.
Lastly, Rimac showed two hybrid batteries including a scalable unit that will arrive early next year. It appears to offer a capacity of between 1 and 17 kWh. The company also mentioned “interchangeable cell configurations” and an “integrated in cell-to-pack architecture with advanced safety and thermal management features.”
Besides batteries, Rimac introduced the Sinteg 300 and 550 e-axles. Designed for “performance-focused vehicles” ranging from hot hatches to SUVs, they produce between 201 hp (150 kW / 204 PS) and 483 hp (360 kW / 489 PS). The company added the 550 unit will go into production next year.
Rimac Technology COO Nurdin Pitarević remarked, “What we’re showcasing at IAA represents the convergence of breakthrough innovation and production readiness. These aren’t simply concept technologies; they’ve been developed to be production-ready solutions that will power hundreds of thousands of vehicles in the coming years.”
