Volkswagen Group has big ambitions of becoming the top selling electric vehicle producer in the world. But the good news is that it’s sprinting toward that goal, and it’s already #1 in Europe and #4 in the USA. China’s the largest BEV market in the world — larger than the rest of the world combined — and Volkswagen Group doesn’t have a great BEV track record there, but it is improving rapidly.
Across the world, Volkswagen Group delivered 572,100 fully electric vehicles in 2022, up 26% from 452,800 in 2021.The share of Volkswagen Group’s worldwide sales that were BEVs was 6.9% in 2022, up from 5.1% of the OEM’s sales in 2022. And 5.1% was already up significantly from the 2.5% of 2020. “In the course of 2022, additional sites in Emden, Hanover and Chattanooga started to produce BEVs,” Volkswagen Group writes. “This year, the Group headquarters in Wolfsburg will follow. Therefore, the Group aims to reach a level of BEV deliveries of around 11 percent in 2023. This will be the base to achieve the medium term goal of around 20 percent in 2025. By 2030, every second Group vehicle delivered globally is expected to be all-electric.
