What do the fully electric compact model Volkswagen ID.3, the newly crowned "World Car of the Year 2021" ID.4 and the recently introduced high-performance model ID.4 GTX have in common? With the high-voltage battery system from Volkswagen Group Components, you have cutting-edge technology on board, which ensures high performance, long range, the best possible safety and fast charging. The demand for attractive and affordable electric cars based on the MEB modular electric drive kit is so high that the location has just expanded production to up to 500,000 batteries per year.
The Volkswagen brand has announced that it will significantly increase sales of its electric vehicles by 2030. Sales of purely electrically powered models (BEV) are expected to increase to 70 percent in Europe, and up to 50 percent in the USA and China. The long-term goal is the complete decarbonisation of the brand's balance sheet by 2050. “Until 2025 we will introduce a new electric car every year. Already this year the sporty SUV-Coupé ID.505, next year our new icon, the ID. BUZZ05. In 2025 we will then present a model below the ID.3 that will make electromobility accessible to an even larger group of customers, ”says Thomas Ulbrich, Member of the Board of Management for Development at the Volkswagen brand.
