The fast-chargers with a charging capacity of 150 kW will be installed at a total of 4,000 BP and ARAL fuel stations. With BP, Volkswagen said it wants to establish about 8,000 fast-charging points throughout Europe, with most of the stations concentrated in Germany and the UK. VW said it would team up with oil giant BP and top European utilities Enel and Iberdrola to expand electric vehicle charging.ġ8,000 public fast-charging points in Europe by 2025

This will be accomplished through a series of strategic partnerships that were announced today. Volkswagen said it intends to have 18,000 public fast-charging points in operation in Europe by 2025, a fivefold increase over the current state of EV charging in the continent. The Swedish company has said it plans to increase its market share in Europe to 25 percent by 2030. Northvolt will also sell its share in joint-venture Northvolt Zwei to Volkswagen. On the same day as VW’s event, Swedish battery maker Northvolt said it had received an order from the automaker worth $14 billion. The plants will have a production capacity of 240 gigawatt-hours a year, Schmall said. The first two plants will be in Salzgitter, Germany, and Skelleftea, Sweden a third plant will be established either in Spain, Portugal, or France and the fourth factory will be based in Eastern Europe. The automaker plans to have six battery cell production plants operating in Europe by 2030, which it will build alone or with partners. One way Volkswagen plans to boost production of battery-powered vehicles is through a massive expansion of its manufacturing footprint. The automaker aims to “gradually” reduce battery costs in the entry-level segment by up to 50 percent and in the volume segment by up to 30 percent. VW hopes to drive the cost down even further with more efficient production and a robust recycling process. “This will finally make e-mobility affordable and the dominant drive technology.” “We aim to reduce the cost and complexity of the battery and at the same time increase its range and performance,” Schmall said. Those prices have been falling dramatically over the last decade, from $1,100 / kWh in 2010 to $156 / kWh in 2019, a drop of 87 percent. The price per kilowatt-hour (kWh) is the unit of energy most commonly used to measure the capacity of the battery packs in modern electric vehicles. “The transformation will be bigger than anything the industry has seen in the last century.”Ī picture of the unified cell. “Our transformation will be fast, it will be unprecedented,” said VW Group CEO Herbert Diess. To ensure that shift, batteries need to be more powerful, last longer, and be cheaper to make in order to entice enough customers to make the switch from gas to electric. Practically every automaker is betting that electric vehicles will be the future, with some of the largest countries (and largest auto markets) in the world moving to phase out gas-powered cars and trucks. The race for huge improvements in battery technology is one of the most expensive and hotly contested on the planet right now. The ultimate goal is to make electric cars with longer ranges and quicker charging times - two of the biggest barriers to mass EV adoption. The automaker, which is the second largest in the world based on sales, said it would reduce the costs of producing its batteries by up to 50 percent, build multiple battery factories around the world, expand its network of charging stations, and eventually transition to solid-state technology that would cut costs and boost efficiency. Volkswagen Group unveiled a massive push to drive down the cost of producing batteries for its electric vehicles in the hopes of speeding the transition away from gas-powered cars.
