In the field of electric vehicles, Tesla has become the world’s leading brand, and Volkswagen, the overlord of fuel vehicles, has become a follower.
Although not on the surface, the Volkswagen Group secretly competed with Tesla and even established a team T’ (Mission T), whose main business is to beat Tesla.
Volkswagen that has stood firm in the automotive industry for a hundred years, naturally has strong automotive management capabilities.
It coincides with the concept of ‘If you want to get rich, build roads first’, Volkswagen is well aware of the importance of charging infrastructure for the large-scale promotion of electric vehicles.
Volkswagen was the first to deploy the electric vehicle charging pile market before it fully expanded its electric vehicle territory.
A few days ago, Volkswagen’s official website said that it will continue to substantially expand its charging infrastructure.
At present, Volkswagen has 1,200 public charging piles in operation in Germany, and it plans to build 750 new charging piles in 2021, including the first batch of newly built 300kW charging piles.
From this point of view, Volkswagen has also accumulated a lot of technology in advance in the electric vehicle market.
It is really surprising that the first batch of 300kW fast charging piles will be built next year.
You know, the current V3 supercharging pile that Tesla is proud of has a maximum charging power of about 250kW.
Volkswagen’s 300kW super fast charge is no longer a fantasy for electric vehicles to fully charge the battery within half an hour.
It is reported that by 2021, Volkswagen will have 2,000 charging piles in operation, an increase of 50% compared with the current year.
At present, Volkswagen has 10 charging stations in Germany with a total of 1,200 charging piles, and most of the charging piles are open to the outside world. Even if it is not a Volkswagen car, it can also be used for charging.
According to the plan of the Volkswagen Group, between 2020 and 2024, the Volkswagen Group will invest 60 billion euros (approximately RMB 464.6 billion) in hybrid power, electric mobility, and digitalization.
Moreover, by 2029, Volkswagen will launch 75 pure electric models and 60 hybrid models. By 2029, the cumulative sales of pure electric vehicles will reach 26 million, and the cumulative sales of hybrid vehicles will reach 6 million.
