Virgin is working on electric cars and could one day
take on Tesla, according to company founder Richard Branson.
Speaking at a racing event in Miami, Branson said Virgin had “teams
of people” working on electric cars but refused to be drawn on
specific details.
The company’s Virgin Racing team already competes in
the all-electric Formula E championship, a high-speed,
battery-powered spinoff of Formula 1. Branson has now hinted that
Virgin’s involvement could lead to the company selling its own
electric cars.
