Volkswagen Plans to Sell 1 Million EVs by 2025

Jun 1, 2016

The Volkswagen Group has recently announced that it plans to sell one million electric vehicles by 2025. This announcement is in response to the CO2 regulations that will be instituted globally in the upcoming years. In order to achieve this lofty goal, the brands under Volkswagen will be launching nearly 20 electric or hybrid vehicles by 2020.

One of the models we’ve heard about so far is the updated e-Golf, which is due to arrive by the end of the year. We’ve also heard rumors about an all-electric vehicle, and another Prius-like model called the XL3 that is rumored to debut in 2018, although nothing has been confirmed just yet. What we do know, however, is that VW engineers are working diligently to develop the MEB, a modular platform that can support a wide range of battery-electric vehicles. This is the platform that supported the Budd-e concept at the CES show earlier this year.
