“Rimac’s aim is for a company that’s cooler than Tesla, building electric cars are not only efficient and environmental friendly, but also be fast and exciting. The goal is to build-up an automotive company in Croatia – which never had a car industry and very few technology-based companies.The company also makes bikes. Rimac started in his garage, and has since won multiple awards for his technology”, writes Forbes’.
