By the end of the decade, Volkswagen Group firms want to offer more than 25 BEV vehicles to customers in the United States. Within a few months, Volkswagen will start producing its all-electric ID.4 small SUV in Chattanooga, which should help satisfy rising demand in the US for electrified vehicles.
“We are convinced that the mobility of tomorrow will be electric,“ said Keogh. “This is not only good for the environment but also creates new business opportunities and jobs. We want to lead the way in this transformation and establish Volkswagen as the top e-mobility provider in North America.”Volkswagen’s Chinese joint ventures FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC Volkswagen also announced their plans to produce a range of new EVs. By 2025, they want to offer more than 15 BEVs in China.
Volkswagen’s goal is to make electric cars more affordable for a wider range of consumers and to promote sustainability. “Volkswagen is systematically pushing ahead with e-mobility,” said Diess. “To do this, we are making electromobility affordable for many people and are thus taking an important step towards climate protection.”
