Virgin electronics, cars, Branson hint of obvious to.

One of the coolest entrepreneurs on the planet is possible in the auto-industry collapse. Currently lacking a car still in its bulging portfolio of Sir Richard Branson, but that may change. In an interview with Bloomberg TV alluded to the 64-year-old Briton, however, very clearly to an EV of Virgin-making:

“We have teams of people working on electric cars. So you never know, you may find Virgin competing with the Tesla in the car business as we do in the space business. We will see what happens.”

Branson said this on the occasion of the Formula E race in Miami, where Virgin Racing with electric racegeweld to the starting line appears. It is remarkable Branson the fight between the space Virgin Galactic and SpaceX cites. SpaceX, the ruimtetransportbedrijf of Musk, has just a miljardencontract at NASA in the wait dragged, while Virgin is still recovering from a heavy crash with Spaceship Two. That play both of them equally in a just another class.

After rumors about Apple’s interest in the EV business, it is now so Virgin that Tesla’s lives miserable. It is still in press at the charging station.
