In recent weeks we have spoken on numerous occasions about the rumors that are related to Apple’s project to make its own vehicle, dubbed Apple Car by the press. It seems that Apple has taken up the Project Titan that we talked so much about a few years ago until according to various sources, it had been canceled.
One of the analysts with the highest success rate in everything related to Apple, Ming-Chi Kuo, affirms in the last note that he has sent to the investments, and to which Cult of Mac has had access, that the Apple Car could reach the market in 2025 and it will position itself as a very high-end vehicle.
According to this analyst, the price and cost of the components of the Apple Car will be much higher than those that we can find in an electric vehicle to use. In addition, he affirms that in addition to working with Hyundai (according to various sources), he is also reaching agreements with Peugeot, Citroën, Opel and General Motors.
In the best of cases, Apple could launch the Apple Car in 2025, although it is a very short time to develop a vehicle from scratch since the number of components of an electric vehicle is between 40 and 50 times higher than we can find on a smartphone.
The Apple Car will be based on the electronic vehicle platform that Hyundai presented at the end of 2020 under the name E-GMP, a platform consisting of two engines, an integrated drive axle, a charging system and a range of 500 kilometers with batteries. , batteries that can be charged to 80% of their capacity in just 18 minutes. The maximum speed is 250 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 in 3.5 seconds.
Hyundai is not clear
According to Reuters, the top executives of Hyundai are not clear that this association with Apple can come to fruition since it is not a company that manufactures vehicles for other brands. Also, Apple telling you how to do your job, being a novice in this field, will not sit very well with the company.
