Croatia’s Rimac Automobil plans to multiply its annual output of battery packs for high-powered electric vehicles from about 100 units to as many as 10,000, Autocar reports.
In addition to its own hypercars, Rimac supplies batteries for such high-performance electrics as the Koenigsegg Regera and the Aston Martin Valkyrie due late this year. The company also will supply the Valkyrie’s infotainment system.
Rimac plans to unveil its newest electric vehicle at next month’s Geneva auto show. The car will feature a 120-kWh battery and Level 4 autonomy, according to Autocar.
Rimac previously has said the new model will outperform its 2016 Concept One EV. That two-passenger car has a 92-kWh lithium-iron phosphate battery and four electric motors that generate 1,224 hp and 1,180 lb-ft of torque.
The new car will be slightly larger and more comfortable than the Concept One but maintain that model’s two-seat layout. Production will be limited to 100 units, starting with the first 20 later this year.
