He said that although the demand for electric vehicles is rising sharply, the infrastructure supporting them is still lagging behind. It takes huge investment and time to achieve comprehensive changes in the field of liquidity. "We need to transform or build factories, need battery production capacity, establish a safe and sustainable supply chain, and consumers need some infrastructure to adapt," he said
Many carmakers also said earlier that the transition to electric vehicles will not be achieved overnight, because it requires the participation of governments, energy companies, climate change organizations and consumers.
Dis also believes that in terms of electric vehicle sales, the company is likely to become the world leader in electric vehicle sales, and reiterates Volkswagen's vision of "becoming the global electric vehicle sales leader by 2025". He said that this is a highly competitive track, but we will not give up. But it has to be said that our major American competitors have been prepared very quickly and fully.
In addition, dis also confirmed Volkswagen's current plans and actions in the field of small electric vehicles. It is expected to launch three small electric vehicles in 2025, based on the MEB small platform currently being developed by the company.
