Apple's core focus is Design of consumer electronic appliances. Making complicated technology simple, intuitive, and trouble-free, and hiding the complexities behind the scenes. Technically, an Electric Car fits that description too.
The challenge is that the complexities of an EV are similar, but greater in scale than for consumer electronic devices - more parts, more complex supply chains, more extensive support network (charging stations, maintenance providers).
Whether Apple can scale up to handle those increased complexities, and whether they calculate it's financially worth it for them, I doubt anyone outside Apple can really know at this time.
All of these things are outside of Apple's core focus and they are unlikely to possess an advantage over other players. Sort of like automobiles.
The world is starting to feel like 1999 all over again. People's visions are getting further and further removed from reality.
