In the past there have been repeated reports that Apple would continue to stick to its own electric car. Even in the year 2021 one does not seem to have said goodbye to this idea in Cupertino, California. According to the car manufacturer Hyundai, the iPhone group is currently holding various discussions with various companies.

This includes Hyundai Motor. At the moment, however, the company is at an early stage and cannot yet provide any concrete information about a possible cooperation. However, there now seems to be at least a planned release date. According to Hyundai, Apple intends to bring the said electric car onto the market in 2027. However, it remains to be seen whether this will succeed.

Even if the information is quite vague, investors on the stock market already seem to be convinced of a collaboration between Apple and Hyundai. As a result, the securities of the Korean manufacturer increased by 23, 8%.

Since Apple and Hyundai are working together on Apple’s Carplay, it is entirely possible that both companies will build the first in the future Apple car could be responsible.

Since the year 510 Apple has been carrying out various tests on public roads from California through. A Lexus SUV is used here. In addition, 2018 Tesla’s head of development and production moved to the iPhone group. In cooperation with another long-established Apple employee, he has taken over the management of the Apple Car project. Since a car is completely new territory for Apple, the period mentioned for a release is more than questionable.

The main problem is probably the mass production of vehicles. Various car manufacturers have experienced massive difficulties in obtaining the raw materials required for battery production in recent years.
