Automotive News / dpa / Welt Online
Germany’s biggest carmaker VW has said it is prepared to build 50 million e-cars and already has “sourced” the batteries needed to fulfil this goal, company CEO Herbert Diess told Automotive News in an interview. “This is a huge momentum coming, and probably from a volume piece, I think we have the best setup strategy for the electric vehicles to come,” Diess said.
According to a separate article by news agency dpa carried by Welt Online, VW plans to launch a small e-car costing 20,000 euros no later than 2022.
