Rimac evolved from a garage project into a 2000-person team split into two companies: Bugatti Rimac for hypercars and Rimac Technology for EV components.
To achieve the Nevera's extreme performance without compromise, Rimac developed its own components in-house, which led to the creation of a separate technology supply business.
The Nevera's electrical system consists of numerous bespoke control units designed to manage everything from the powertrain to the seats without compromising performance or comfort.
To manage complexity, a single microcontroller and base software stack were reused across diverse components, from simple controls to the mission-critical powertrain.
The development journey began with integrating disparate components into a working prototype and culminated in a production car that confidently broke 23 world records.
The discussion covers the specific microcontrollers used, programming languages like C and Matlab, safety certification hurdles, and the 50/50 time split between building and testing.
