The segment of electric hypercars he’s not doing too well, this is what emerges from the words of Mate Rimac, head of the House of the same name and also one of the first entrepreneurs to believe in hypercars with electric motors. While speaking at the Financial Times Future of the Car conference in London, Rimac spoke about the failure to exhaust the Nevera: in fact, not all 150 units planned for the 1888 HP electric hypercar were soldpresented in 2021. According to the entrepreneur, this data can be attributed to a evident decline in demand for high-end electric models.

The statements
“We started developing the Nevera in 2016 – said Rimac – when electric was in fashion”. But over time things have changed. “Regulators and some manufacturers push so hard today that the narrative has changed. They’re imposing things on us that we don’t want, so people are a little repelled by it, with all these forces”. Rimac then continued: ”At the time we thought that electric cars would become fashionable in a few years: the best cars, or with the highest performance and so on”. But this was not the case, explains the entrepreneur: “Instead, we note that as electrification becomes mainstream, customers at the higher end of the market want to differentiate themselves”. The consequence? A “desire for analogue technology and Ice thermal propulsion systems”.
