Hyundai Motor and Apple Inc. plan to sign a partnership agreement on autonomous electric vehicles by March and begin production in the US as early as 2024, local newspaper Korea IT News reported on Sunday. The source says Apple and Hyundai are considering building a new plant in the United States that will produce 100,000 vehicles a year by about 2024, with annual capacity eventually being increased to 400,000. The news pushed Hyundai stock up 20%. Apple can rely on the latest battery technology to extend range, improve safety, and avoid cobalt use.

Meanwhile, Hyundai has pledged much money to join the race to build such cars. Last October, the company said it plans to invest $41 trillion ($37 billion) by 2025 in “the mobile technology of the future.” It is worth looking at the graph below: the number of electric vehicles sold by the company is growing every year. In 2019, the number of electric vehicles sold by Hyundai Motor Group in South Korea amounted to more than 23 thousand, about 15.8 thousand from Hyundai and 7.6 thousand from Kia. The car is included in the list of Best New EVs and Hybrids of 2020.

Apple is in talks with leading automakers as the company has no experience in the vehicle market. Therefore, a partnership with a renowned global vehicle manufacturer is a key solution in this matter. Apple is serious about entering the car market. The car is slated to go into production by 2024 with all advanced features and bug fixes.
