Apple EV features?

January 25, 2024, by Jennifer Colegrove Ph.D. Principal Analyst, Touch Display Research Inc. and Battery Market Research

In January 2024, Bloomberg reported the updated rumor about Apple to release an electric vehicle (EV) in 2028. The rumors about Apple EV have been circulating the industry for about a decade. The rumored the release day has been postponed from 2019, to 2024, to 2026, and now to 2028.

I started analyze the future Apple EV in “EV Battery Technologies, Supply Chain, and Market Forecast 2021-2031 Report”, which was published in 2021.

The EV battery report profiled over 180 battery-related companies and research institutes.  Over 40 major battery factories, including Tesla and Panasonic, LG Energy Solution and GM, CATL, and their capacity are listed and forecast to 2031 in the report.

“Battery Market Research forecasts that electric vehicle (EV) penetration will reach 52% by 2031. To achieve the fast growth of electric vehicle, batteries are the most critical components. Battery technologies and supply chains are either a company’s bottleneck or the enablers to achieve fast electric vehicle growth. The EV battery competition is heating up. Our ‘EV Battery Technologies, Supply Chain and Market Forecast 2021-2031 Report’ can be a helping hand right now,” said Dr. Jennifer Colegrove, CEO and Principal Analyst at Battery Market Research and author of the report.

Besides EV battery, I’m certain that Apple will feature the advanced touch screen, display, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistant System), and touchless human-machine-interaction (HMI) technologies in its upcoming electric vehicles. I’ve been analyzing the touch display market since 2006. In the “Automotive Touch, Display, ADAS and Touchless HMI 2022 Report, 5th Edition” Touch Display Research Inc., a market research and consulting firm, analyzes automotive touch screen, display, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistant System), and touchless human-machine-interaction (HMI) technologies and supply chain. This is the 5th edition with many updates over the fourth edition (published in 2021). More than 700 companies working on automotive technologies are profiled in the report.
