The electric motors are powered by a 4.5 kWh, 800 volt, 75 kg (165 lb) liquid cooled battery pack developed by Rimac Automobili, making it the first 800-volt production car. [27] [28] Koenigsegg claims that the battery pack is the most power-dense battery pack ever created for a production car. [12] [13] [22] [29]
Diagram of an RTG used on the Cassini probe. A radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG, RITEG), sometimes referred to as a radioisotope power system (RPS), is a type of nuclear battery that uses an array of thermocouples to convert the heat released by the decay of a suitable radioactive material into electricity by the Seebeck effect.
A typical 12 V, 40 Ah lead-acid car battery. An automotive battery, or car battery, is a rechargeable battery that is used to start a motor vehicle.. Its main purpose is to provide an electric current to the electric-powered starting motor, which in turn starts the chemically-powered internal combustion engine that actually propels the vehicle.
Battery capacity was 28.7 kWh; the battery weighed 486.1 kg (1,072 lb) and occupied a volume of 292 L (10.3 cu ft). [6] Using a 120 V "emergency" charger, approximately 24 hours were required for a complete charge; in contrast, the 240 V charger was able to restore 80% of charge in 2 hours. [ 8 ]
An atomic battery, nuclear battery, radioisotope battery or radioisotope generator uses energy from the decay of a radioactive isotope to generate electricity. Like a nuclear reactor , it generates electricity from nuclear energy, but it differs by not using a chain reaction .

For the purpose of manageability, this list is limited to production cars that have at least 600 kilowatts. Car models with higher-powered variants are listed only in their most powerful incarnation (for example, the Agera RS would be listed in place of the standard Agera, although the Agera makes over 600 kW).
Battery life and charging method: You don’t want to get stuck with a mug that doesn’t last or needs to be charged with a specialty cable you could easily lose.
