Rimac says demand for electric hypercars has dropped

Unveiled in 2021, the 1,914-horsepower Rimac Nevera is limited to 150 units, and about 50 of those have already been spoken for. Part of the reason why two-thirds of the planned production run remains available is that demand for electric hypercars has dropped, the brand said.

"The regulators and some OEMs push it so much that the narrative has changed. They're pushing stuff on us that we don't want, so people get a little bit repulsed by it, this whole forced application. I'm always against it. I think everything has to be based on merit, so the product has to be better," he added. Regular motorists don't have a choice, but those who can afford a hypercar want one with a gasoline engine.

This realization at least partially explains why the Bugatti Chiron's successor isn't electric; it will be powered by a new V16 engine. Rimac, which owns Bugatti, said a battery-powered model's sales figures would be"nowhere near" what it has planned for the V16-powered car. And, the shift will likely have an effect on Rimac's product pipeline: it doesn't expect demand for electric hypercars will go back up.
