EV Lab, an omnichannel, multi-brand electric vehicle platform has announced its partnership with Croatian electric hyper car manufacturer, Rimac Automobili. As part of the cooperation, Rimac’s latest hyper car, the Nevera, is now on display for the remainder of Expo 2020 at the Croatia pavilion.
Kevin Chalhoub, who is an entrepreneur, CEO of EV Lab and the scion of the famed luxury fashion brand Chaloub Group, has been an avid supporter of the electric vehicle platform and this move is testament to his efforts in that direction.
The Nevera features a four-motor drivetrain, each powering individual wheels, thereby providing exceptional agility and performance. With as much as 1,914 horsepower on hand Rimac Nevera can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in scantily believable 1.85 seconds. In fact, the Rimac Nevera has set a new world record for production car acceleration, covering the quarter-mile in a mere 8.582 seconds.
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Rimac to debut their new flagship vehicle in the Middle East as the region’s first immersive platform that encourages people to embrace future mobility solutions that are sustainable and clean. Our goal is to showcase that electric vehicles are not only sustainable but also at the forefront of technology as Rimac is doing just that with the first electric hypercar company in the world. Paying homage to Expo 2020 key themes of Mobility, Sustainability and Opportunity, the Rimac Nevera will be on display at Expo 2020 until 31 March 2022, and I encourage everyone who has interest in the future of mobility to come down and see this marvel of engineering. The engineers at Rimac have created something that we have never seen before, breaking records and realigning our perceptions of what electric vehicles are capable of, whilst rising to the challenge of pushing the limits of technology as we know it,” said Kevin Chalhoub, Founder & CEO at EV Lab.
“It’s our honor to bring the Rimac Nevera to Expo 2020 and showcase it in front of a new audience in the Middle East - which is one of the key markets for us. The story of Rimac Automobili is a story of beating all odds in spite of enormous challenges with an incredibly ambitious team set on forging the future of mobility. We are honored to partner with EV Lab, a company that shares our values of continuous innovation, and pushing the boundaries of what is possible,” added Mate Rimac, Founder and CEO of Rimac Automobili.
Since its founding, EV Lab has partnered with several entities to drive transformational campaigns that put the spotlight on the value that electric vehicles bring towards a culture of sustainability. The latest campaign supports the UAE government’s vision to reach Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050.
