Dreame is a company known for producing vacuum robots. But today in San Francisco, they suddenly showed off a concept EV equipped with a twin rocket acceleration system. The Dreame Nebula Next 01 Jet Edition can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 0.9 seconds assisted by two solid-fuel rocket engines at the rear. The rocket system's response time is 150ms with a thrust of 100 kN.
When the rocket system is not in use, it uses an electric motor powered by a solid-state battery that offers a travel range of up to 550 km (CLTC). Dreame has not shared the total power of the motor, and the number of motors used in the Nebula Next 01 Jet Edition.
At CES Vegas last January, the Dreame Nebula Next 01 was shown with four electric motors, each of which is 469 horsepower with a total output of 1903 horsepower. This version without the rocket engine can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 1.8 seconds with Dreame saying they plan to offer the first EV by 2027.
It also has a self-driving system that uses LiDAR for detection up to 600 meters ahead. Like the Tesla Cybertruck, this hypercar uses a steering-by-wire system that is not physically connected to the vehicle's tires.
Dreame Nebula Next 01 Jet Edition is still just a concept with no information on whether it will be offered as an actual production car in the future. What Dreame has done is surprising but it is not impossible because Xiaomi used to produce cheap phones and power banks but has launched two high-performance EVs in just five years.
