Cyclically we return to talk about the hypothetical Apple electric car, also known as Apple Car or iCaras well as the name of the original project, “Titan”. For months it seemed that in Cupertino they had abandoned everything to point to the automotive sector, but now voices from the East are relaunching the issue, even highlighting very short deadlines. This is what emerges from a report by the Taiwan Economic Daily News, via an Asian source, which reported how Taiwanese suppliers have already received an advance alert on a number of components., which obviously Apple could not produce by itself. Milestone of the first prototype: good 2021.
The source, who remained anonymous as usual, reported contracts with two major US companies whose names begin with A, and could be Amazon, via Rivian, and Apple. The other clue, which has sparked the rumors, is the Foxconn assembler’s recent engagement to create a platform for electric carsand everyone knows that the same company is one of the leading manufacturers of Apple products.
Also from an anonymous source, Reuters has found that Apple would focus on a particular battery structure, very similar to the one Tesla recently unveiled for the China-produced Model 3 SR +. It would be a battery pack without modules, of the cell-to-pack type (Here we explain what it is about), composed of cells with Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (LFP) chemistry, which, therefore, would be able to optimize costs, autonomy, duration and safety.
With a presentation in late 2021, Apple could hit the market in 2024, or even earlier if their Chinese partners offered themselves as logistical and productive support. In that case, Cupertino shouldn’t even have to worry about the know-how and factories it doesn’t have, well ahead of the times.
