Rimac Is Working On More Energy-Dense Battery Packs


Rimac is functioning on a new battery module that will use bigger 46 mm diameter cylindrical cells as it appears to be to increase the electricity density of its upcoming packs.

In the course of a new job interview with Automobile News Europe, Rimac Technology’s head of investigate and highly developed engineering, Wasim Sarwar Dilov, disclosed that the Croatian firm is functioning on structural battery packs that variety component of the car’s entire body. Rimac also wishes to make improvements to the ‘cell-to-pack conversion efficiency,’ which means it is aiming for cells to account for 75 for every cent of a pack’s complete mass.

To place that into viewpoint, the Porsche Taycan’s cells account for 63 for each cent of the pack’s mass although the Tesla Model 3 raises that to 64 for every cent and the Rimac Nevera now sits at 67 for each cent.

Tesla was the 1st firm to introduce 46 mm diameter cylindrical cells because of to their improved vitality density. Tesla’s cells are 80 mm tall but Dilov claims Rimac’s cells will be different heights depending on their software.

Rimac’s progress targets for its new factors arm will see it supply no fewer than 40,000 battery packs in 2023 and 200,000 by 2028. Dilov revealed that the company is at present acquiring discussions with a few battery brands to offer the cells for its new pack.

“Previously we just experimented with to obtain the best cells we could. If you are hoping to get cells for a couple hundred cars you can do that,” Dilov reported. “Now as we drastically ramp up to volumes of hundreds of hundreds of models, we are in a unique period.”

While Rimac is hunting to improve the components of its battery packs, Dilov claims it is the company’s computer software that seriously differentiates it from rivals.

“Our hardware is great, but so is loads of components,” he advised Car News Europe. “With our computer software even so we can extract much more efficiency from any specified cell than our competitors.”
