Is there a connection between the tariffs on Chinese car batteries and Apple cancelling their electric car?

Did Apple really cancel their electric car project or did they quietly sell it off?

On the Apple front, it was a full on cancel. They just couldn't get it together and shelved the project completely. But some tech is in the Vision Pro now

The one aspect that rarely gets mentioned is how much this transition is proppsed up by government subsidies

EV's are a transition technology between IC engine cars and H2 FC (fuel cell) cars. FC cars don't require a complete new energy distribution infrastructure to be built and maintained and don't inconvenience the FC driver/passengers with long charging times, where the driver has to sit busying themselves, as the H2 can be dispersed from repurposed, corner gas stations.
