Apple Car Specs Leaked, And They Are On Par With Tesla Model 3's

A recent report from Ming-Chi Kuo, a credible leaker, reveals possible specs of Apple electric cars, which could compete with Tesla automobiles in terms of battery life.

Kuo seconds a previous rumor that Apple will partner with Hyundai on its E-GMP (short for Electric Global Modular Platform). Since the E-GMP was announced a few months ago, we now have a few ideas of what to expect.

E-GMP provides over 300 miles (around 482 km) on a single charge and you will have 96 km with five minutes of charging. This performance is more than good as Tesla Model 3 can cover from 263 miles to 353 miles (approximately 423 km to 568 km) with one charge.

Tesla vehicles also feature fast charging tech that can top up 80% of the battery in 18 minutes. Plus, it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 3.5 seconds and its top speed is 160 mph.

However, please bear in mind that these specs are for the high-performance models only.

Kuo also added that Apple would release the cars in 2025 at the earliest. However, the timeline is only possible if the company uses parts from automakers instead of making them themselves. So if Apple wants to own the whole supply chain, the electric cars will be launched later than 2025.

Back in December, Kuo said the Cupertino tech giant would release the new cars at some time between 2025 and 2027. Before that, he said the time would be between 2023 and 2025. Another report from Reuters said it would be 2024.

Despite all the reports that point to different timeframes, one thing is for sure – we will have to wait for a very long time before any of us can drive an Apple Car.
