Volkswagen has begun making pre-production versions of its ID.3 electric car ahead of full production, which is scheduled for the middle of 2020.
In a move that it believes is the first of its kind in the world for a major car factory, Volkswagen is converting its automotive factory in Zwickau, Germany from the production of internal combustion vehicles to produce electric vehicles. The news this week builds on a higher level announcement that VW issued about the conversion of the Zwickau plant to support electric vehicles late last year.
Volkswagen AG will be investing around €1 billion to fully convert its manufacturing facility in Zwickau, Germany, to electric vehicle production over the next 5 years. This is part of a broader €22.8 billion investment package for 2018–2022.
