0.9 Seconds To 100? Dreame’s Wild Rocket EV Concept Explained

Dreame is still at the starting line with its first car, but it’s already looking way ahead. Instead of playing it safe, they showed a concept that feels more like a statement than a product.

The Nebula NEXT 01 JET made its debut in San Francisco, and at first, it doesn’t seem that different from the sedan they plan to launch in 2027. Same low, sleek shape, same four-door layout. Then you walk around the back and realize this isn’t meant to be normal.

They added rocket boosters. Real ones, at least on paper. A dual solid-fuel setup that, according to Dreame, can push the car to 100 km/h in just 0.9 seconds. They even claim 150 ms response time and up to 100 kN of thrust. It sounds extreme because it is. This part is clearly more about showing off than something you’ll actually see on the road.

But once you look past that, there’s more grounded tech underneath. The car uses steer-by-wire and brake-by-wire systems, and Dreame is working on solid-state batteries with over 450 Wh/kg energy density. They say it’s getting close to real-world use, which is the part worth paying attention to.

They also brought in a new LiDAR system called DHX1. It’s designed to spot objects up to 600 meters away and give a clearer picture of what’s ahead. The plan is to support advanced L2+ driving first, then move toward L3 autonomy later on.

Inside, the idea shifts toward connectivity. The car acts like an extension of your home. Their AI assistant can link up with other smart devices, so you can control things remotely while sitting in the car. It’s a bit futuristic, but it fits with what Dreame already does in consumer tech.

Production is still planned for 2027, so for now it’s a bit of a waiting game.
