In Europe alone, six gigafactories with a total production capacity of 240 GWh are to be established by the end of the decade. Volkswagen is also vigorously pursuing expansion of the public fast-charging network globally. Both gigafactories will be powered with electricity from renewable energy sources.

The preparations for exclusively green electricity for a climate-friendly production in Europe are already well advanced. Thereby, we completely forego coal-based electricity and obtain our electrical energy from only renewable sources. Today, new plants in Europe are already planned with a CO2-neutral energy supply from the start.
