Rimac's Solid-State Battery Will Already Be Charged While You're Still Getting Coffee

"Rimac has unveiled a new solid-state battery that promises ultra-fast charging speeds and impressive energy density. Unveiled today at the IAA Mobility show in Munich, Germany, the upcoming battery has a discharge power of 850 kW. It's smaller, weighs less and charges over two times faster than the company's latest liquid-based cylindrical cells-under 10 minutes to go from 10% to 80%."

"Rimac Technology, the parts developer and manufacturer that's wholly owned by the Rimac Group, unveiled a game-changing solid-state battery pack for electric cars that promises to make top-ups on the go faster than filling up with gas and getting a coffee. Developed in collaboration with ProLogium and Mitsubishi Chemical Group, the state-of-the-art liquidless high-voltage pack was unveiled today at the IAA Mobility show in Munich, Germany, alongside the latest iteration of the Croatian company's liquid-based cylindrical cell pack."

"Despite the advancements on the cylindrical cell front, the solid-state pack blows it out of the water with its specs. Let's get the charging time out of the way first, because that's the biggest differentiator by far. According to Rimac, a 100-kilowatt-hour solid-state pack can be charged from 10% to 80%, which is the go-to metric for road trips, in just six and a half minutes."

Rimac Technology unveiled a solid-state high-voltage battery pack developed with ProLogium and Mitsubishi Chemical Group. The liquidless pack delivers 850 kW of discharge power while reducing size and mass compared with the company's liquid-based cylindrical cells. A 100 kWh pack can recharge from 10% to 80% in approximately six and a half minutes, more than twice as fast as the cylindrical cells. The charging performance will require higher-power DC fast chargers than the increasingly common 350 kW stalls. Production deployment to high-performance electric vehicles is planned beginning in the fourth quarter of 2027, with Rimac Technology supplying the packs as a tier-one parts provider.
