The tour showcased the synergy of high-tech EVs and IONITY’s rapid charging network.
In a remarkable demonstration of electric endurance and performance, the Rimac Nevera has completed a monumental 1,300-mile European tour, just days after Rimac announced its partnership with IONITY. This journey wasn’t just a trek across diverse landscapes but a testament to the sophisticated electric grand touring capabilities of the Nevera, thanks to its 120kWh battery and the seamless support of IONITY’s high-power charging network.
Starting from Zagreb and culminating in the glitz of Saint-Tropez, the Rimac Nevera Tour highlighted not just the scenic beauty of Europe but the logistical prowess of modern EV technology. The tour carved through seven countries, showcasing the Nevera’s impressive WLTP range of over 300 miles. But the journey was made truly remarkable by the utilization of IONITY’s 350kW Halo chargers, which enabled lightning-fast battery boosts from 0% to 80% in a mere 25 minutes. Furthermore, with the Nevera’s compatibility with up-and-coming 500kW chargers, the potential for even quicker stops is on the horizon.
The tour’s route was a roll call of Europe’s finest vistas. From the serene Lake Bled to the Austrian Alps and beyond, the Nevera glided effortlessly, displaying a serene composure against nature’s unpredictability – be it storms, rain, or winding mountain roads. This tour was a demanding test of endurance and performance, and the Nevera passed with flying colors. Driving through the Aosta Valley, the Rimac Nevera’s power and precision were on full display, tackling the relentless hairpins and challenging terrains with aplomb. In its stride, the Nevera moved from the rugged landscapes of the Alps to the sophistication of Geneva, then through the historic Loire Valley, and down to the sun-drenched Riviera.
Rimac’s partnership with IONITY is strategic and ambitious, aiming to redefine the boundaries of electric mobility. The pairing of the Nevera with IONITY’s rapid and reliable charging network is an open invitation to explore long-distance travel without the traditional constraints of electric vehicles. Moreover, Nevera owners are now privy to eight years of unlimited free charging across IONITY’s expansive network, spanning 24 European countries.
This tour was not just a showcase of raw electric hypercar power; it was a statement of the possibilities in sustainable grand touring. IONITY’s network played a pivotal role in this, offering more than 500 stations equipped with high-power charging technology, designed to fuel long-distance travels across Europe’s diverse topographies. The Rimac Nevera, in synergy with IONITY’s network, has shown that an all-electric hypercar can conquer extensive road trips with ease, comfort, and speed. Mate Rimac, the visionary behind this creation, emphasizes that the Rimac Nevera and IONITY partnership signifies a leap into a realm of electric mobility once thought unattainable. The message is clear: with the right technology and infrastructure, the future of grand touring is electric, and it is here.
