Sony’s EV Was Announced in 2020

About two years ago, Sony announced the Vision-S 01, its first prototype for the electric car sector, claiming its public road tests began in Europe in December 2020.

The new model from the Japanese company would use the same cloud EV platform as the first model, according to Sony in a press release. It is still unclear whether the company intends to build electric cars from scratch under its own brand or in partnership with other automakers. The electric car sector, however, is still small, representing only 3% of sales in the U.S. currently, but it generates significant media and investment interest.

American giant GM plans to invest about US$ 35 billion in robots and electric cars by 2025. Meanwhile, American authorities plan to spend billions to strengthen charging station infrastructure or encourage individuals to move away from internal combustion models.

About Sony

In 1946, the predecessor of Sony Group Corporation, Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo KK, started as a small company with a capital of just 190,000 yen and about 20 employees.

Founder Masaru Ibuka stated that the goal of creating the company was to develop an ideal factory that emphasized a spirit of freedom and open-mindedness that would contribute to Japanese culture through technology.

Symbolizing Sony’s spirit of challenge to do what has never been done before, the company continued to launch various products that were the first in Japan and the world. The company aims to be a pioneer in the future with curiosity and dreams, always striving for excellence while leveraging diverse viewpoints and diversity.
