JAKARTA - The 2024 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) exhibition has ended and for this time it is minimally followed by car manufacturers compared to previous years, but it remains a brilliant stage for Mullen, an electric car manufacturer from California.

There, they showed off their latest and most violent model, FIVE RS based on Five shown last year and ready to shake up the dominance of Tesla Model X Plaid and Lucid Air Dream Edition.

Launching Autocar, it is known that the California-based EV company was founded in 2014 by David Michery. However, until now none of the company's production cars have been sent to customers.

Meanwhile, the FIVE RS is exhibited equipped with a wild electric heart with a battery with a capacity of 100 kWh with a power of more than 1,000 dk, and is claimed to be able to penetrate a speed of more than 320 km/hour, and acceleration of 0-100 km/hour in less than 2 seconds.

This monster is channeled through a four-wheeled drive with two electric motors and supported by an 800V charging architecture. Imagine, charging a battery from 0 to 80% only takes 21 minutes!

Not only fast, but the FIVE RS is also equipped with a capable Brembo brake with six- and four-piston times that clamp the carbon-keramic disk, the "Ultra-Performance Race Track" mode to maximize power and handling, as well as AI-powered voice assistants with facial recognition technology.

Although it looks ready for production with luxury interiors wrapped in Alcantara and carbon accents, it is not yet clear whether the FIVE RS and its base, FIVE, will actually launch from MULL's new factory in Robinsonville, Mississippi. The car exhibited in Las Vegas is still a prototype for exhibitions.

Mullen CEO, David Michery, previously had the ambition to make FIVE RS one of the fastest cars in the world. The promise to show the performance of this car in the racing arena in the spring of last year has also not materialized.

Mulell itself owns a majority stake in electric commercial vehicle company Bollinger Motors, which briefly shocked the public with pick-up trucks and extreme SUVs in 2019. However, their focus is now turning to heavy trucks.

Will this electric monster car really go fast on the streets? We'll just have to wait for the continuation of the story.
