Foxconn last week revealed three electric vehicle prototypes that include a sedan, a sports utility vehicle and bus, and said it aims to turn electric vehicles into a $35 billion business in five years.
The Apple supplier had earlier this month confirmed a deal with pre-production electric vehicle startup $Lordstown Motors(RIDE.US)$ to buy its Ohio assembly plant and build electric vehicles there for its partner $菲斯克(FSR.US)$
Indonesia is also the largest producer of nickel, a key ingredient used in making electric vehicle batteries.
