Unified Cell – The New Battery For Electric Cars

To achieve advances in the battery system, the group developed the so-called unified cell. It will allow the company to have a single format for all electric cars, helping Volkswagen achieve higher production volumes and ensuring sales at a more affordable price. The cell will be installed in 80% of all Volkswagen electric cars by 2030 and is expected to launch in 2023.

Volkswagen is also set to expand its public charging network in Europe, with over 18,000 points, in the United States, with 3,500 new points, and in China, with 17,000 points by 2025.
