During the Hon Hai Tech Day 2021 event, Foxconn revealed their 3 upcoming electric vehicles, the Model C crossover, Model E sedan and the Model T bus. If this names sound familiar, it’s because they are, Model C and Model T were used by Ford in the early ages of the automotive industry. Ford didn’t release a Model E, but they filed an application to trademark the name back in 2013. Not much was revealed about the cars specifications, but Foxconn stated that the Model C crossover will be capable of accelerating from a 0 to 62 mph (0-100 kilometers per hour) in just 3.8 seconds. It also added that it will have a projected range of around 435 miles (700 kilometers) per full charge. The Model E sedan will be even quicker, from 0-62mph in 2.8 seconds thanks to a 750 horsepower (kilowatts) output. The cars are expected to go on sale by 2023 starting with Taiwan. The three cars will be co-developed with Taiwanese automaker Yulon Motor Co Ltd. The iPhone manufacturer, Foxconn, acquired a former factory of the Lordstown Motors startup in the United States where it where it plans to assemble the cars. It seems that its other acquisition of a chip plant in Taiwan will also play a part in this development.
