info@drive-volkswagen-group.com“E-mobility in Germany has the potential to become a real success story,” says Thomas Ulbrich, Member of the Board of Management of the Volkswagen Brand responsible for E-Mobility. Together with other experts from the E-Mobility division, he invited trade journalists to DRIVE for Charging Day.
Charging solutions and technologies for electric vehicles were featured at Charging Day in Berlin. In his keynote speech, Thomas Ulbrich focused on how Volkswagen is building up a charging infrastructure by. The company is planning to build 36,000 charging stations across Europe by 2025, including 11,000 under the Volkswagen brand. In total, the Volkswagen Group is investing around €250 million in expanding the charging infrastructure at its European sites.
“Charging infrastructure is increasingly becoming the key factor for the rapid breakthrough of e-mobility in Germany. Charging an e-car has to be as easy and natural as charging a smartphone. Above all, we need many more charging stations in public areas and simple rules for the installation of private wall boxes. Volkswagen wants to set an example here and is committed to building up the charging infrastructure at all levels,” explained Thomas Ulbrich at the Charging Day in DRIVE.

“When economics and politics join forces, we can tackle charging infrastructure challenges very quickly – in the same way that we need to work together to create the technology-driven structural change in our industry. Germany needs a master plan for e-mobility.”

The specified fuel consumption and emission data are determined in accordance with the measurement procedures prescribed by law. 1 January 2022, the WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC test cycle and therefore no NEDC values are available for new type approved vehicles after that date. This information does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle’s fuel consumption, power consumption, CO₂ emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior. Due to more realistic testing conditions, fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions measured according to WLTP will in many cases be higher than the values measured according to NEDC. As a result, the taxation of vehicles may change accordingly as of 1 September 2018. For further information on the differences between WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.volkswagen.de/wltp. Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO₂ emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the “Guide to fuel economy, CO₂ emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models”, which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
