Apple Car: When Can You Expect It? And at what price?
For years there have been rumors about Apple’s first electric car: the Apple Car. Now more is known about the price and launch of the model.
Although Apple hasn’t confirmed anything about a future electric car, Bloomberg reports that CEO Tim Cook has been working on the project for some time. Sources familiar with the car give even more Insider knowledge about the EV.
2026 the Apple Car is coming (probably)
The Apple Car would have been postponed. According to the latest information, the electric car should come onto the market in 2026. Even if it could be just a little bit later.
Apple originally wanted to build a fully autonomous car. A steering wheel and pedals were therefore missing in the sketches. This now appears to be changing. The concept car on the Israeli REE modular platform is now equipped with a steering wheel and pedals. According to the sources, the model can only drive autonomously on the highway. Still, the idea of being able to watch a movie and play games while driving remains. The car notifies you when you, as the driver, need to take the wheel.
price tag
Although the design, functionalities and powertrain of Apple’s electric car are still largely unknown, a price is already being discussed. The sources tell Bloomberg that the model will cost less than $100,000.
What can you expect from this Apple car?
Although the car is seen by many as “the next big thing” in the automotive world, the smartphone giant’s first car appears to be not. It was previously said that the Apple Car would not roll off the assembly line in large numbers. Apple wants to use the first generation to evaluate its market value.
