Although the entire automotive industry is limitation to move towards electricity still has gray areas that surround this technology. You can cite, for example, that recycling of used batteries. In an interview with our English colleagues from Autocar, Mate Rimac spoke about the whole new technology for electric cars. Technology that could remove the batteries from them.

An electric car without a battery?

Principle nanotubes Simple, overheating of liquid fuel such as liquefied petroleum gas, hydrogen or diesel fuel generate electricity. According to Mate Rimac, the brand’s CEO, when this type of fuel is overheated, a thin layer is formed, which he describes as “hollow tubes consisting of a network of carbon atoms that have unique electrical properties“.

This technology could then be used to power an electric car. You definitely have a fuel like diesel, whatever the car is this technology would pollute much less than a car with a conventional internal combustion engine.

At Autocar, Mate Rimac said that the nanotubes, which the startup has been testing on a small scale, had an efficiency of 80%. For example, the average efficiency of an internal combustion engine is between 30 and 50%.

Rimacs that run on diesel?

A manufacturer that has still builds electric cars who are interested in technologies including liquid fuels for example diesel, it’s a world upside down. However, Mate Rimak reminds us that his brand is not exclusively electric and she does what is the most interesting now.

It must be said that this new technology will bring progress cannot be neglected for sports cars. Indeed, with these nanotubes you can remove the batteries and save a lot weight, of order half a ton. And all this with a significant reduction in CO2 emissions of conventional internal combustion engines.
