By 2030, it’s planned that those factories will be producing some 240gWh (gigawatt-hours) of batteries each year. The plan is that, by 2030, Salzgitter will be making some 40gWh of batteries each year. Skellefteå will make batteries for high-end premium models, while Salzgitter will concentrate on volume markets. PlantsIt’s not just that VW plans to make more batteries, it also plans to make cheaper batteries. This will finally make e-mobility affordable and the dominant drive technology,” said Thomas Schmall, VW’s board member for technology.
