The production of electric cars at Volkswagen in Zwickau has cracked the one million mark. As the first site in the VW Group, the car factory has only been producing fully electric vehicles since November 2019. The company announced that the millionth electric car rolled off the production line this week. This means that almost every second registered electric car from the Volkswagen Group comes from Zwickau.
Around 1.2 billion euros have been invested at the site to convert it into an all-electric car factory. However, it is also suffering from the fact that demand for the vehicles is not picking up as much as hoped. As a result, many temporary contracts have not been extended and the night shift on the two production lines has been canceled.
