President of Foxconn “The idea of ​​cooperation between Apple and electric vehicles is just a rumor”

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on the 16th (local time) that Apple’s largest partner, Taiwan’s Foxconn, has begun work to produce electric vehicles in the United States.

Chairman Liu Yang-wei officially announced at a press conference held in Taipei, Taiwan on the same day that “we will make a new electric car in the United States.”

Earlier this year, Foxconn also agreed to jointly produce electric cars with American electric car start-up Fisker. As chairman Ryu Yang-way confirmed the production location in the US, there is also an analysis that there is a possibility to cooperate with Apple in the electric vehicle sector as well.

Foxconn has a factory in Wisconsin, USA. Industry predicts that Foxconn will also assemble electric vehicles at the plant. The production of electric vehicles will start as early as the end of 2023, a foreign press reported.

Recently, Apple also announced that it plans to create an Apple’I-Car’ by selecting an electric car as a new growth engine according to its name as the iPhone is saturated. Accordingly, it was predicted that global automakers such as Hyundai/Kia Motors and Volkswagen could become Apple’s partners.

However, when asked about the possibility of cooperation in electric car production with Apple, Chairman Ryu drew a line saying, “The news that Foxconn will produce Apple cars is only a rumor.”
