The Volkswagen group is planning a new energy vehicles strategic layout, and as the foundation of the construction of the battery factory, will be its a "electric" strategic priority. Sources close to the Volkswagen group senior said: since the Chinese government full support to the development of electric vehicles, the first battery factory is expected to be settled in China Volkswagen group.
Volkswagen group CEO mill during this years Geneva motor show, announced the strategy of "2025", depicts the more digitization, the blueprint of electrification, the Volkswagen group has the design and production of electric cars, to will increase to 20, 2020, by 2025, will be increased to 30.
According to the requirement of the muller, CEO of the company, the future will be a "electrification efforts leading enterprise". Volkswagen electric hope to 2025 years to produce and sell 2025 vehicles and plug-in vehicles.
Public aspects to the requirement of battery safety, reliability and consistency is very harsh, the recall and the first half of this year, the electric golf.
Battery quality as an industry topics, affects the multinational auto giant s next step plan.

At present, the Chinese government has always intensify efforts to control air pollution, and hope to promote the development of electric vehicles to achieve energy conservation and emissions reduction, including big cities (Beijing, Shanghai, shenzhen, etc.) for electric vehicle registration of preferential policies, and subsidies. Of course, there are critics pointed out that the practice of support the development of the electric car is just transfer the pollution from cities to rural areas, relying heavily on coal for domestic energy structure of building battery factories, as well as to the battery and recycling, are facing greater potential pollution.
