JAKARTA - Some time ago, Apple reportedly wanted to make its own electric car. However, because he has no experience in the automotive field, the Cupertino giant is partnering with Hyundai to make this dream a reality.
Quoting Business Insider, Monday, January 11, the news came from Korean media, namely Korea IT News, claiming that Hyundai and Apple are expected to sign a partnership agreement in March 2021.
It is likely, if the partnership agreement is successful, they will actually start production of electric cars around 2024 but will first be introduced in beta version in early 2022, and that the manufacturing process will be carried out in the United States (US) as many as 100,000 cars.
Hyundai and Apple electric cars will probably be made at the Georgia plant that makes cars for Kia Motors, a Hyundai affiliate. However, it is reported that Hyundai and Apple will build a plant that will allow the company to build about 400,000 vehicles each year.
Although Apple has not confirmed a partnership with Hyundai. The South Korean car manufacturer has confirmed that it will work on electric cars with Apple.
It is hoped that these Hyundai and Apple electric cars will use a new battery type designed by Apple, which radically lowers the cost of sales, but has the ability to drive how far they can drive compared to Elon Musk's Tesla.
