Although under Apple's complete secrecy, almost all the details of Apple's electric vehicles rumored on the Internet have not been officially confirmed, and certainly not denied. The latest news shows that two more manufacturers have joined the competition for Apple's electric vehicles. Rumor has it that Apple's two existing partners, Foxconn and Luxshare Precision, are considered very reliable candidates for a contract manufacturing agreement for Apple's first electric vehicle.

Given that Apple's electric vehicle development is progressing well, And Cupertino-based Apple is considering selecting partners for urgent production efforts, Foxconn and Luxshare Precision were selected in large part because both manufacturers are investing in the infrastructure for electric vehicle production. Among them, Foxconn hopes to produce electric vehicles at a factory in North America, while Luxun Precision cooperates with Chery Group to produce zero-emission vehicles.
However, there will always be two sides to the matter. The rumored Foxconn and Luxshare Precision are definitely not the definitive answer, and either of them eventually takes over the production of Apple's electric car. Previously, there were also rumors that the joint venture between Magna and LG was already in a leading position in the production of Apple's electric vehicles. Apple has also discussed partnerships with several traditional automakers, including Hyundai, but each negotiation ended abruptly, and Hyundai, once keen to sign an agreement with Apple, did not end up.
Apple has always been committed to preventing future products from leaking in advance, so in the choice of foundry manufacturers, we must also treat all rumors with a skeptical attitude. Still, Apple's electric car is almost certain to hit the market by 2025, and the test prototype is likely to hit the road in 2023, but don't expect to see it on public roads, as Apple is likely to keep every little detail a secret until the last minute.
