Foxconn is the world's largest contract manufacturer of consumer electronics. They're best known for making Apple's iPhone. Now they're trying to expand into the electric vehicle business. Is this a good idea?

BYD made batteries and assembled small electronic devices before moving into EV. However they did this fairly early, so they manage to secure a large chunk of the EV market. Foxconn does have good control over the supply chain, great, but its late entry might face fierce competition and limited profitability

i can actually already see car by foxconn in someway on the road of Taiwan now They partner with a Taiwanese local car brand "Luxgen"(which is the Yulon Motor mention in the video), Luxgen already launch their first full EV "n7" base on the Foxconn Model C platform, i can already see quite a few of them on the road. so far they are selling quite well from what i heard and the deal work just like you said, Foxconn design the platform and manufacture the car, and Luxgen design the rest and handle the sales etc my family test drive one when we are shopping for car, they look cool and are relatively cheap, we still bought a Mazda at the end tho lol

I feel that Foxconn's strategy of standardizing hardware might be a hard sell for cars, since cars are much more hardware focused than smartphone, both from a customer's perspective as well as from a law perspective. I've seen a news article stating that in China EVs have become "Smartphones on wheels", and that Chinese customers are more focused on the software than the performance of the vehicle (which also explains why so many Chinese smartphone companies are unveiling EVs, while Apple just gave up on Project Titan). If that is the case, I can see them being successful in the Chinese market (which in all fairness is so big they might as well achieve 50% of the global EV production), but I'm skeptic they'll be able to do that abroad. At least not 100%, maybe western manufacturers will outsource their "entry cars" while producing higher end models in-house

@bwood1234qwert Ай бұрын

You could well be right it's hard to say at this point isn't it but I guess I do believe the adage at the end there if anyone can do it foxconn can do it. I don't know if it makes sense to say that it is more hardware-based there are more hardware components but foxconn's contribution to electronics is entirely hardware based. I don't believe they develop any of the software for devices and so I think the complexity and project as a whole is pretty much just the same thing at a different scale. The issue is going to be whether they can actually uniformly use different components across different manufacturers. If they can successfully standardised components which I suspect they'll be able to do for at least a large number of companies because it seems like it certainly Tesla and other companies build a lot of their own stuff from scratch but I suspect technologically inside are very similar to other brands, I think the concepts will take quite some time to come to frooition but I didn't see any hard reason why it can't.

@chrissmith3587 7 күн бұрын

No legacy car manufacturers are outsourcing their car manufacturing to them. The joint ventures in other countries are mostly about breaking into foreign markets. We already worry enough about Chinese IP theft, handing over designs would be insane. So realistically they are probably only getting a market in Chinese startups Plus the electronic manufacturing is very different to automotive manufacturing. There’s a reason why Teslas have good software and poor build quality. This is just a big conglomerate trying to break into a hyped industry.

@@bwood1234qwertthey might be able to standardise some parts like motors, battery modules. But the EDU design is incredibly complex, just cause you have a good motor doesn’t mean it will be good for the total edu. Importantly this is already a business that already exists, we already have battery specialists and motor specialists, so why would I want a electronic specialist to build my parts

@tundescope Ай бұрын

On the face of it, this makes perfect sense. EV startups won't need to burn through so much cash so quickly if they can outsource manufacturing. This should help them get to market faster without having to climb the manufacturing learning curve which is really steep (ask Elon). Foxconn will make lots of mistakes from a quality perspective to begin with but they'll eventually get it right. The MIH initiative is also BRILLIANT. Creating component standards worked for consumer electronics and I don't see why it shouldn't work for automobiles.

@laertiuse Ай бұрын

What makes you think they aren't already doing that. The auto industry is massive with not just the auto companies but the parts suppliers as well. 14 auto companies own 60 of the major brands. They all have the same suppliers, and they make some of their own parts. I think the problem is that cars are way more complicated than consumer electronics. Also, consumer electronics is very broad, ranging from TV, phone, tablets, etc, and compared to a car, they are much more simple to make and transport.

With the experience of Tesla and co in China it sounds like a bad idea for any established auto maker outside of China to go to Foxconn

@mynameisjeff. Ай бұрын

Not quite the same. Foxconn basically is trying to be an OEM for EV's. They will have base designs and another brand can come to them with a few small customizations/specifications and Foxconn will put their branding on it. But there's no exclusivity. Any brand that wants to use Foxconn can use any of their base designs. Similar to how a Pontiac Sunfire and a Chevy Cavalier were the exact same car, with a slightly different aesthetic. Literally anyone with the money to buy the cars will be able to create their own EV brand in a matter of months. Then it's the brands job to market and sell the cars for a profit.

If vehicle production is standardized, innovations will come more quickly. They have to get over the quality control factor. Legacy auto woukd have an easier time with transition to EVs by ditching huge plants and coming up with patented technologies.

EVs are much easier to standardize than ICE vehicles, but the learning curve is still pretty steep. Someone needs to take the first step. I can see one of the US big three giving someone like Foxconn a chance since they are obviously having difficulties optimizing the supply chain to build EVs cost-effectively.
