Now, new information has just surfaced which suggests that OPPO is currently working on an electric vehicle that might launch in the region sometime by early 2024.
According to a 91Mobiles report, tipster Mukul Sharma claimed that the Chinese tech giant is is working on electric vehicles for the Indian market. So, its in line with the trademark application. Notably, these EVs, which could include autonomous vehicles and electric scooters, are likely in the planning process as of right now. The tipster further added that these electric vehicles might be launching by the end of 2023 or even early 2024.
While the report has revealed a possible launch time frame for the EVs, the tipster did not reveal any finer details like technical or hardware specifications. Keep in mind that this is still an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt for now. But if the reports are true, we can expect the company to release teasers for the EVs in the arriving months. With the EV market booming, automobile makers are also eyeing to expand their presence in various Asian markets.
