Volkswagen Group local time “Electricity Day” was held in Wolfsburg, Germany, and announced that the technical road map of the battery and charging industry will be promoted by 2030. The route map published this time focuses on reducing the complexity and cost of the battery to promote pure electric vehicles. At the same time, the Volkswagen Group has set a goal, that is, after 2025, it ensures that the battery is supplied and self-sufficient. The group plans to establish 6 Gigabit factories in Europe in Europe in the next 10 years, with a total output of 24 billion watts (GWH). It is also encouraged to expand the efforts of public high-speed charging networks worldwide. To this end, the Volkswagen Group has agreed to cooperate with energy companies such as BP (UK), Iberdrola (Spain) and Enel (Italy).
Herbert Middle, Chairman of the Volkswagen Group, said: “Electric Motor is the core business of the group, which is systematically integrated At all stages of the value chain. In the zero emissions mobile era, we are working to achieve long-term advantages in competition to provide the best battery and best customer experience. “The common responsibility of this technology road map is by Volkswagen Group Parts, director of the Ministry of Public Motor Group, Director, Director, the CEO of the CEO of the Volkswagen Group, Thomas Schmall.
[1] Volkswagen Group aims to significantly improve the production of European batteries
Volkswagen Group Focus on expanding production in Europe to meet the growing demand for battery cells. Volkswagen plans to 2030, through cooperation with partners, established and operated a total of 6 Gigabit plants in Europe to stably supply batteries. The new GIGA plant built is expected to produce a year of 240GWH batteries. Therefore, the group is actively contributing to achieving the goals of green transactions driven by the EU. First twoThe factory will operate in SkellefTearing in Sweden; and Germany’s Salzgitter. The production of quality batteries is expected to begin in 2023, and the annual output is gradually expanded to a maximum of 40 g of.

Volkswagen The car group is working hard to change the battery system of all battery packs including all components. Thomas Schmal, the board of directors of Volkswagen Group, said: “Our goal is to increase service life and performance while reducing the cost and complexity of the battery.” In addition to the internal production plan, new integrated unit also It is expected to save a lot of costs. The new battery will be debuted for the first time in 2023, and will be installed in electric vehicles in 2030, accounting for 80% of the Group’s brands.
It is expected to further save costs by optimizing battery types, introducing innovative production methods and continuous recycling. Therefore, the group’s goal is to gradually reduce the battery cost of the entry-level battery to 50%, and reduce the battery cost of the batteries by 30%. “In terms of battery, we will use the scale economy to benefit our customers,” Thomar Middot; Schmar THOMAS SCHMAL said. It reduces the cost of the battery system to an average of less than 100 euros per kilowatt (kWh). In the end, this will make electric vehicles a more reasonable and dominant driving technology.
[3] value chain integration
In addition to gradually expanding the integrated battery and internal production The new technology roadmap of the Volkswagen Group also focuses on the various stages of the integration of value chains, thereby achieving industries.Recycling. Volkswagen will be with the selected strategic partner to ensure long-term supply for electrical offensive. In addition to saving cost, it is expected that storage capacity and high speed charging will also be improved. Prismatic unified batteries provide optimal conditions for transition to the next generation of solid state, which hopes to achieve the leap of battery technology in the next five years. Volkswagen Group continues to focus on strategic partnerships in the battery and charging sector and effective resource utilization. While maintaining its strategic revenue, the company’s goal is to ensure 6% of facilities in 2025, and net flow funds over 10 billion euros are obtained each year in the core automobile business.
[4] Expand the global fast charging network: cooperate with BP, Iberdrola and Enel
In addition to the joint venture Ionity, Volkswagen Group also plans to achieve its goals through a series of strategic partnerships. As part of the group, it will make about 8,000 high-speed chargers with BP in Europe. The 150KW high-speed charger will be installed at approximately 4,000 gas stations in BP and ARAL, mainly in Germany and the United Kingdom. It also plans to cooperate with Iberdrola (North Power Company in Northern Spain) to cover the main transportation routes from Spain. At the same time, it will establish a high-speed charging network through the cooperation with Enel (Italian National Electric Company) in Italy’s highway and urban centers. To this end, the Volkswagen Group will invest 4 billion euros in the European plans in 2025, and other investments will be borne by external partners.
The organization also expands public fast charging networks in the United States and China. The Electrified America plans to establish 3,500 high-speed charging piles in North America at the end of this year. Taking China as an example, the company plans to establish a total of 17, 0 through the CAMS joint venture capital by 2025.00 high speed charging pile.
[5] makes electric vehicles become part of the energy system
Volkswagen Group plans to Electric cars are integrated into private, commercial and public energy systems. This allows environmentally friendly power available through solar systems to be stored in the vehicle and is provided to home networks if necessary. Customers can not only reduce the dependence on the public grid, but also reduce costs and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. From 2022, the model based on the public-specific electric vehicle platform MEB will support this technology.
