VW may produce 700,000 electric vehicles in Germany by 2030
- With production of electric ID3 and ID4 now at mid-series level (54,695 units having been sold in Europe in the first half of 2021, equivalent to 100,000 over the whole of this year), the Volkswagen group has announced that it will gradually install a production capacity of 700,000 electric vehicles in Germany by 2030, spread into five plants.
- The Zwickau plant already has a capacity of 200,000 vehicles per year, with a saturation scheduled for 2023 or 2024. In addition to the ID3 and ID4, this plant also assembles the Audi Q4 E- Tron.
- Part of the ID3s are also assembled at the Dresden plant and part of the ID4s will soon be assembled at the Emden plant, where Volkswagen Passat models have been produced for many years and which will be transferred to the Czech plant in Kvasiny in 2022-2023. The Emden plant will also produce the future ID5. The capacity of this plant should ultimately represent 200,000 electric vehicles per year (the ID6 is a priori intended exclusively for China and will be produced locally).
- In addition, there is the Hanover plant, which will host the production of the electric versions of the new Kombi and the new Transporter in 2022. This plant should ultimately represent a capacity of 100,000 units per year. Finally, there is the Wolfsburg plant, which will be the last to switch to the production of electric vehicles and which will eventually have 150,000 electric vehicles per year. This growth will come at the expense of the Golf, which should see its production volume decrease by 2030. As stated by the management of the company, the history of Volkswagen can be summed up in three stages: the Beetle, then the Golf and today the ID range.
