Volkswagen is very disappointed with its electric car sales

Volkswagen is currently one of the brands that offers the most electric cars in its range. Among them, ID.3, ID.4 and ID.5 as well as ID. Buzz, not to mention the new ID.7 and the future ID.2, among others. A well-filled catalog for the German manufacturer, which is currently number 3 in electrics in the world. And this even if it still remains very far behind Tesla as well as the Chinese firm BYD. However, everything is not rosy at all for the Wolfsburg firm, which is experiencing numerous difficulties due to insufficient sales.

Customers are not seduced

If the figures seem satisfactory, the German firm in fact remains very far from the planned objectives. Indeed, the cars currently offered in the range do not really seem to appeal to motorists, who prefer to go with Tesla, among others. Not to mention the numerous delays in the development of certain models, as well as the dismissal of numerous managers. And inevitably, this has a direct impact on the good health of the manufacturer, which is forced to reduce its production rate, particularly for its electric models within its Emde factoryin Germany.

A difficult situation

So much so that the brand had to extend its employees’ vacations, due to low demand for the ID.4. A critical situation for the brand, which will be forced to cut jobs as the Prime Minister of Saxony explains: we were proud of what was happening at Volkswagen in Saxony with electromobility. Now we see it: it’s not so successful after all. A large number of colleagues will no longer be able to work there, at least temporarily“. Many jobs are expected to be lost in the coming months.
