Volkswagen Passenger Cars reports that its global car sales during the first nine months of this year amounted to 3.335 million (including China), which is 12% less than a year ago.<\/p>\n

Despite lower sales, revenues actually increased by 6.1% to \u20ac52 billion, while the operating result more than doubled (up 103%) to \u20ac2.5 billion (4.7% operating return on sales).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, its all-electric car sales amounted to 207,200 (up 23.5% year-over-year), including 91,200 in Q3 (up 21.8%). It means that ID. models represent about 6.2% of the total volume so far this year.<\/p>\n

Considering that in 12 months of 2021\u00a0Volkswagen<\/a> sold over 263,000 all-electric cars<\/a>, with a decent Q4, the company should be able to set a new record result of potentially over 300,000 units.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the growth rate remains below expectations – like in the case of the entire group<\/a> – which was mostly caused by external factors related to production constraints.<\/p>\n

The top-selling all-electric Volkswagen is the Volkswagen ID.4\/ID.5 duo (counted together by the manufacturer) with about 55,800 units sold in Q3 and 122,600 during the first nine months.<\/p>\n

The ID.4 is a special model, produced in five factories around the world: two in Germany (Zwicaku and Emden), two in China (FAW-Volkswagen in Foshan, and\u00a0SAIC Volkswagen in Anting) and one in the US (Chattanooga, Tennessee).<\/p>\n

The second most popular Volkswagen is the ID.3 at 45,500, while the third is ID.6 at 27,500.<\/p>\n

An important thing to note is that, in China, so far this year, Volkswagen sold 104,700 ID. models (ID.3, ID.4 and ID.6), which is more than 50% of the total 207,200. That’s a pretty surprising outcome, which highlights that results in Europe (Volkswagen’s main market) are far lower than they should be according to plan.<\/p>\n

It will be very interesting to see how things will change in Q4 and further in 2023, considering stronger and stronger competition.<\/p>\n
