Following the announced job cuts at Volkswagen in Zwickau, politicians from various parties have criticized the company's management. Those responsible at VW must take a critical look at their work, warned SPD member of parliament Carlos Kasper on Thursday. "Because we also see: things are going better at other electric car manufacturers in Germany." Reasons for the sales problems sees the FDP deputy Torsten autumn in the model policy: "Unlike BMW, for example, Volkswagen relies exclusively on battery electric vehicles for its drives and thus makes itself dependent solely on the demand for E-cars."
Obviously, not all new E-cars from Volkswagen are so attractive that they are in high demand in Germany and Europe, Herbst stated. The sales difficulties could not be justified with the reduced government purchase premium. CDU member of parliament Carsten Körber, on the other hand, had spoken of an "ideological policy of the traffic light coalition" as the cause of the misery and referred to the reduced subsidy. E-cars are also no longer affordable for many people because of the expensive price of electricity.
