Auto Xun.com ] On March 16, 2021, Volkswagen Group issued a battery and charging technology route for the next 10 years. The route aims to significantly reduce the complexity of the battery and significantly reduce costs, thereby making electric vehicles more attractive and affordable. At the same time, the Volkswagen Group is also committed to ensuring battery supply after 2025. And planned to build a super battery factory in Europe at 240 gigably in Europe in Europe, 2030 years ago. In addition, the Volkswagen Group is actively promoting the construction of high-power public charging infrastructure, and has reached intention of energy companies such as British oil companies, Ibid Rolla, Italy and Italy.
Under the leadership of the CEO Thomas Schmall of the CEO Thomas Schmall of the CEO Thomas Schmall of the Group’s Technical Head, the Group’s Technical Leader, the leader of the CEO Thomas Schmall of the Group’s Technical Lead, Responsible for the development and implementation of related technology routes in the group’s internal cross-brand.
Realized substantial growth in European battery production
Volkswagen Group is fully expanding battery capacity in Europe to meet A growing battery demand. Thomas Schmall talks: ldquo; to 2030, we hope to join hands with partners to establish 6 battery plants in Europe to ensure battery supply. RDQUO; After the new factory built into production, a total of 240 gigabit batteries were produced each year, while achieving positive contributions and efforts in achieving the EU Green Agreement. The first batch of two factories will be located in Swedish Senlfteo and Germany Salzgite. In order to meet the growing battery demand, the Volkswagen Group decided to focus again focusing on battery production.Planning, Working with Northvolt, in the super factory in Swedish Shekftto; Mdash; LDQUO; Northvolt ettrdquo; produces high-end batteries. This production plan will be held in 2023 and gradually expanded from 40 gigab to annual production. 
From 2023, the battery cost is greatly reduced through the new standard cell. The Volkswagen Group is working hard to make significant progress in battery system technology including the battery and related components. Volkswagen Group Management Board members, Group Technical Lead THOMAS SCHMALL Supplements: LDQUO; We aim to reduce battery costs and simplify production processes while enhance battery life and performance. We will use the scale economy to bring practical benefits to customers, and the price of the battery will be greatly reduced to 100 euros per kilowatt. As a result, electric travel will be more economical and dominant. RDQUO; In addition to the planned autonomous production, the new standard battery will assist the Volkswagen Group to increase the results. The technology will be introduced in 2023 and began to be applied to an electric model of approximately 80% of the group’s brands in 2030. Volkswagen Group will further compress battery costs through battery type optimization, new production process, and continuous battery recycling. Thanks to this, the cost of battery cells mounted on the group’s entry-level model will be reduced, and the cost of battery cells mounted in a quantity model will reduce 30%.
In addition to standard cells and continuous expansion of autonomous production, the Group’s new technology route also includes other steps such as industrial recovery on value chains.Therefore, the Volkswagen Group plans to supply battery supplies with strategic partners to ensure their electric offensive. In addition to cost-effective, storage capacity and rapid charging capabilities are also expected to make progress. The new square standard battery also provides best conditions to the transition to solid-state battery cells, which will become the next leap in battery technology, and the Volkswagen Group is looking forward to the technical breakthrough in the next five years. The group consistently focused on strategic partnerships and efficiently utilizing battery and charging resources. At the same time, the Group adheres to the strategic financial goals, and is committed to about 6% by the capital expenditure ratio to 2025, and the net cash flow of its core automobile business will exceed 10 billion euros per year.
With the British Oil Company, Ibid Rolla and Italian National Electricity Company to expand the global fast charging network.
The Group is further promoting its battery offensive through large-scale expansion of fast charging network. By 2025, the company and its partners will operate about 18,000 public fast charging piles in Europe. This means that the number of rapid charging piles will be 5 times the existing quantity, accounting for about one-third of the total demand in Europe in 2025. Ionity joint venture and other strategic partners will contribute to this goal. By 2025, the Volkswagen will be equipped with BP, and 8,000 fast charging piles have been installed around Europe. Charging piles with 150 kW of charge will be installed in a total of 4,000 gas stations installed in BP and Germany Ara Co., Ltd., most of which are located in Germany and the United Kingdom. In Spain, the Volkswagen Group will cooperate with Ibid Roth to build a fast charging station covering traffic main road. In Italy, the Volkswagen Group hopes to cooperate with Italy National Electric Corporation to quickly charge the highway and urban layout. By 2025, the Volkswagen Group plans to invest 400 million euros for fast charging network construction in Europe, and the Group’s external partners will undertake further investment.
Volkswagen will also expand its public fast charging network in the United States and China. Electrory America plans to build about 3,500 fast charging piles in North America before the end of this year. In China, Volkswagen Group plans to open its joint venture before 2025Mysin Energy Technology Co., Ltd. has a total of 17,000 fast charging piles.
The Volkswagen is committed to using electric vehicles as part of the energy system
Future, the Volkswagen Group plans to integrate electric vehicles into private, commercial and public energy systems. Store the green electric energy of the solar system in the car and supply it to the home network when needed. This can not only reduce the dependence on the public grid, but also save costs and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. From 2022, the model based on the Volkswagen MEB modular electric drive platform will achieve the compatibility of this technology. Volkswagen Group will also provide a complete set of modules and digital services from two-way charging piles to energy management. This technology will soon be used in a larger range such as residential cell, company or public grid.
