VW在曾經宣布到了2025年將在旗下所有品牌推出一共30款
(例如VW、Audi、Porsche這些品牌)
全電動的新車，預計一年要生產2-300萬輛
今年稍早的時候曾經有消息說
VW內部有一項要蓋像Tesla超級電池工廠那樣的計畫呈給董事會
但是被CEO否認
不過現在VW的的想法似乎不一樣了
CEO告訴媒體說，如果我們的車輛有25%是電動車，每年需要300萬塊電池組
那麼自己蓋電池工廠就是一件有意義的事情
另外也確認了這些電池來源會是LG跟Samsung
還有多少傳統汽車廠會跳下來自己蓋電池工廠呢？
會像Tesla那樣都生產18650或是生產別種的電池？
(不過Tesla已經在準備要生產20700的電池來代替18650電池了)

After the ‘Dieselgate’ scandal, Volkswagen has come out as one of
the major automakers most committed to electric cars. Earlier this
year, the company announced its plan to build 2 to 3 million
all-electric cars a year and to unveil 30 new models by 2025 –
across all its brands (VW, Audi, Porsche, etc.).
Tesla is aiming for similar volumes and we all know what the company
did in order to secure the battery supply to support that kind of
electric car production; the Gigafactory. Earlier this year, an
insider report came out saying that Volkswagen was about to present
to its board of directors a project similar to Tesla’s Gigafactory
and build a ‘multi-billion euro battery factory’, but Volkswagen
CEO, Matthias Müller, later denied the plan.
VW’s management is apparently now more open to the idea of
Volkswagen building its own battery factory following a restructuring
of the company announced last week.
Last Friday, VW announced a deal with its labor unions to cut 30,000
jobs within its current operations while creating 9,000 new jobs in
new operations including, battery and electric vehicle production,
and mobility services, like car-sharing.
It looks like Volkswagen warmed up to the idea of owning its battery
manufacturing. Müller told a local newspaper (via Reuters):
“If more than a quarter of our cars are to be electronic vehicles in
the in the foreseeable future then we are going to need approximately
three million batteries a year. Then it makes sense to build our own
factory.“
With its current electric vehicles, like the new 2017 e-Golf unveiled
last week, and the ones already scheduled for production, like Audi
etron quattro planned for 2018, Volkswagen is already committed to
source battery cells from LG Chem and Samsung.
Most of the “30 new EVs” Volkswagen plans to bring to market by
2025 haven’t been announced yet, but among the few that we already
know about, there’s also the Porsche Mission E, which is reportedly
planned for 2019, and a recently unveiled all-electric & autonomous ‘
I.D. concept’ car with ‘over 250 miles range’, which could hit the
market by 2020, according to the company.
