Foxconn, widely known for assembling Apple’s iPhones, is shifting gears toward the American electric vehicle (EV) market. The company is readying its first U.S.-bound EV—the Foxtron Model C—but plans to sell it under another brand, sticking to its strategy of building the hardware while leaving branding and sales to a third party. The Taiwanese manufacturing giant recently announced the upcoming release of the Model C in the United States. However, the car won’t bear Foxconn’s name in showrooms. Instead, Foxconn will rely on contract manufacturing—much like how Magna builds the Fisker Ocean—allowing a still-unnamed company to bring the vehicle to…
