The thing with deadlines is that they get shorter the more we talk about them. When I first started writing about the Fisker Personal Electric Automotive.
Foxconn (officially known as Hon Hai) will host a major event on October 18. It’s the HHTD21 (Hon Hai Technology Day). In last year’s edition, it showed the MIH Open Platform, an open-source electric vehicle architecture. In 2021, it will present the vehicles it intends to build: a C-segment SUV, an E-segment flagship, and a bus.
After the rumors that Foxconn would buy the Lordstown Motors plant in the Ohio city with the same name, the Taiwanese company confirmed it would do so. Hon Hai (Foxconn’s official name) will pay $230 million for most of the facility. In a short sentence lost in the middle of the press release, it revealed why it did so: to manufacture the Fisker PEAR in that factory.
