After more and more rumors about the “Apple Car” have surfaced in recent weeks, it seems that Apple is actually in talks with car manufacturers to produce an electric car.
After a report According to the Korean website Hankyung, Hyundai has now confirmed that the company is in talks with Apple about producing its own new car. Originally, the Korean website claimed that Apple was negotiating with Hyundai Motor to produce the Apple Car. Hyundai would help Apple with both the production of its electric vehicles and the development of the special batteries that will power the Apple Car. According to Hankyung, part of the development of Apple Car components will take place in one of Hyundai Motor's plants in the US. The report confirmed also a previously published Bloomberg article, according to which the Apple Car will still need about five to seven years before it is officially presented. Accordingly, an introduction is not expected until 2027.

What is much more interesting and unexpected, however, is that Hyundai itself confirmed these rumors after the report. A spokesperson for the company told CNBCthat Apple is in talks "with a number of global automakers, including Hyundai Motor." There have been several rumors in the past that Cupertino is relying on partners for the Apple Car. After all, the company does not own facilities capable of producing an electric car. Last year reported Reuters reported that production of the Apple Car will begin in 2024, featuring "groundbreaking battery technology" that will offer a longer range and lower costs. It's still unclear when Apple will unveil the electric car, but the company appears to be pursuing such a goal. (Photo by World Image / Bigstockphoto)
