e-Mobility

Until now, electric cars have been only a marginal issue in terms of fleet operations. Due to their limited range, the lack of a fully developed charging infrastructure and the extremely high total cost of ownership (TCO), battery-powered vehicles (BEV) have only ever been used in trials or on a selective basis. However, countless electric models are due to enter the market in the coming years that will be suitable for widespread fleet use owing to their significantly increased ranges.

With the ID.Charger, customers will be able to charge their e-cars quickly and conveniently at home in the future. Here’s what you need to know about the socalled "Wallbox", made by Volkswagen. Included are three info graphics and a video.

Everyone is talking about climate change. But how acute is it, and how momentous? Nine important facts – and what Volkswagen is doing to limit global warming.

Electric cars, charging points, the power supply, charging cards, billing processes, load management and so on. And in the middle of it all? “Elli”, the Volkswagen Group’s new subsidiary. Its mission: to make the extremely complex issue of electromobility noticeably simpler and more accessible. In this interview, CEO Thorsten Nicklass reveals how fleet customers can benefit.

Dynamic, sophisticated, efficient: As the first fully electric series model from Audi, the e-tron delivers non-stop, emission-free mobility for more than 400 kilometres. However, does the company’s latest coup also keep what it promises in the fleet check? This is something that Norman Scheck, mobility manager at Netze BW GmbH, and Jochen F. Obrecht, Group divisional manager of central purchasing and CEO of Garant Schuh + Mode Deutschland, wanted to find out for themselves.

Frank Blome heads Volkswagen’s Center of Excellence for Battery Cells. In this interview he explains how batteries are changing the automobile, what drivers should know about charging their e-cars and what advances we can expect to see in the next generations of battery technology.

The launch of the Volkswagen ID.3¹ heralds the era of e-mobility. We give an overview of the most important key terms:

In 2019, Volkswagen AG will take another step on its journey to series electric mobility. With the modular electric drive matrix, or MEB, the Group brands will have a joint electric-vehicle platform for the very first time – and will lay the foundation for electric-vehicle production in the volume segment.

A lot of myths and half-truths persist when it comes to e-cars. But they usually don't have much to do with reality. We get to the bottom of the most common prejudices …
