“#Foxconn unveils the modular platform it\u2019ll use to make EVs<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Taiwanese hardware giant Foxconn \u2014 also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Company, and App<\/a>le\u2019s iPhone manufacturing partner \u2014 is gearing up to enter the EV space in a big way.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s chairman, Liu Young-way, announced today that it wants to provide components and services for 10% of the world\u2019s EVs by between 2025 and 2027.<\/p>\n

To that end, it said it\u2019s in talks with several automakers;\u00a0the company also revealed a modular EV platform<\/a> today with a variety of chassis sizes, as well as support for different battery capacities, suspension types and ground clearance. This should enable Foxconn to partner with manufacturers for sedans, SUVs, and even commercial vehicles.<\/p>\n

You can follow a stream of the company\u2019s Hon Hai Technology<\/a> Day event below, in which it revealed more details:

\nJournalist Tim Culpan also noted that Foxconn is slated to release a solid-state EV battery by 2024<\/a>, and Tesla reportedly signed on to pick this up.<\/p>\n

The news<\/a> about the iPhone manufacturer getting into the EV business isn\u2019t entirely surprising, as we heard back in January that it was teaming up with Fiat Chrysler (FCA) to produce electric cars for the Chinese market<\/a>. At that time, it said it would handle electronics and software \u2014 including internet-connected features \u2014 while FCA would take care of the rest of the manufacturing duties.<\/p>\n

Liu said the company is keen to quickly launch an \u2018open platform\u2019 that includes batteries, connected\u00a0services for cars, vehicle and fleet management software, and other EV components, in order to grab market share as soon as possible. It\u2019s kind of like creating an Android-like ecosystem that many brands can build with, and compete with proprietary platforms like Tesla\u2019s.<\/p>\n

If it can make that happen in short order, Foxconn is looking at delivering parts for some three million vehicles.<\/p>\n\n
