Like Hyundai and other big fuel car manufacturers, Volkswagen has launched several electric cars, and their ID series of electric cars, they have launched several, and also continues to deliver to customers.

The latest reports from foreign media show that the weekly production of electric cars at Volkswagen’s plant in Zwickau, Germany has reached a new high this month, with 7,100 units produced in the five days from November 7-11.

According to reports from foreign media, Volkswagen’s Zwickau plant currently produces six electric cars for three Volkswagen brands at the same time: Volkswagen ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, Audi Q4 e-tron and Q4 e-tron Sportback, and the Cupra Born of the new Cupra brand, all of which are electric cars.

The production of 7100 electric cars in 5 days means that the annual production capacity of Volkswagen’s Zwickau plant for electric cars is already considerable, and the foreign media mentioned in the report that according to the rhythm of producing 7100 cars that week, Volkswagen’s plant can produce 369,200 electric cars per year.

Volkswagen Zwickau plant 5 days 7100 electric cars, is also the highest weekly production of this plant so far, Volkswagen side of executive said for the team is quite a remarkable achievement, before the transformation, such high production is not even technically possible.

With the departure of its former CEO Herbert Diess, many are pessimistic about Volkswagen’s electrified future. However, Volkswagen continues to press ahead with its electrification plans, and now that the company has officially sold 500,000 ID. series electric vehicles worldwide, the company plans to accelerate its electrification plan.

Volkswagen’s electric car orders remain high at 135,000, up 65% from 2021, and the company is optimistic it will be able to deliver the vehicles quickly despite tight supplies. In addition, Volkswagen’s electric vehicle lineup now covers three different models: the Volkswagen ID.3 compact car, the Volkswagen ID.4 and ID.5 mid-size SUVs, and the Volkswagen ID.6 full-size SUV.

Volkswagen now plans to end production of combustion-engined cars in Europe by 2033 and plans to introduce ten new electric models globally by 2026, including facelifts for existing models.

Regarding plans for specific markets, Volkswagen said it aims to have 70 percent of vehicles sold in Europe be fully electric by 2030, and 50 percent in the U.S. and China.

However, it wasn’t all good news for the German auto giant. Tight supply remains an ongoing problem, so much so that sales board member Imelda Labbé said the situation could affect production timetables, “We are doing our best to deliver orders for approximately 135,000 ID. to customers as quickly as possible. However, We had to repeatedly adjust production due to continued tightness in parts supply.”

Another major challenge for Volkswagen is the electric vehicle market in North America. Although Volkswagen obviously cannot compete with companies such as Tesla for control of the electric vehicle market, they are also lagging behind in terms of electric vehicle market share. than other traditional brands such as Ford and Hyundai/Kia.
