The famous Japanese Nobel chemical Akira Yoshino recently accepted an interview with Reuters about the potential of next-generation electric vehicle batteries and whether Apple can lead the electric vehicle industry with the possibility and mobility of Apple Car. He said that Apple will soon It will enter the automotive field around 2025, and the relevant news will probably be announced by the end of the year.
Akira Yoshino is the inventor of lithium-ion batteries for smartphones and electric vehicles. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2019 and is also known as the “father of lithium batteries.” The prospects of shared cars and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles believe that Apple’s entry into the automotive field is expected to lead the integration of automotive and technology industries in the future.
Akira Yoshino believes that there are two major directions for the most important innovation key areas of electric vehicles. The first is battery positive and negative materials, and the second is electric vehicle systems. At the same time, it also mentioned how self-driving electric vehicles should know how to find a charging station by themselves or when they need to be charged.
At present, the basic technology of wireless charging for electric vehicles is not a problem. The most important thing is how to apply wireless charging technology to electric vehicle systems. There are currently two possible possibilities, one is that the vehicle is parked in a place where wireless charging is possible, and the other is It can support wireless charging when driving on a certain road.
For the current electric car leader Tesla, Akira Yoshino also praised Tesla for its own independent strategy, but it is worth mentioning that Apple has also warned Tesla to pay attention to what Apple will do again? Yoshino Akira believes: “Assuming that Apple will announce some news about Apple Car at the press conference at the end of this year, and what kind of car will it be announced? What kind of battery will it use? But it will enter the automotive field as soon as around 2025. “
A recent Digitimes report also pointed out that Apple will launch the Apple Car in 2024. It will also announce that it will launch a new single battery for electric vehicles in 2024. It is currently visiting car manufacturers in South Korea and Japan. The plan is to find more Asian auto parts manufacturers and assemblers to work together.
For Apple to enter the auto industry, there are relatively many challenges, but Apple CEO Tim Cook was asked at the European Viva Tech online conference whether he is developing an Apple Car project? Cook only responded that “we always have to be prepared,” which clearly hinted that Apple was already preparing to enter the electric car industry.
