Volkswagen’s largest all-electric car factory in Zwickau, Germany has just set a new weekly production record.<\/p>\n

According to the official announcement, some 7,100 BEVs were produced during five workdays (November 7-11). That’s about 1,400 units per workday.<\/p>\n

Assuming roughly 50 weeks per year, at such a rate, the factory would produce up to 350,000 electric cars. This alone indicates that the maximum output of 330,000 units annually – envisioned when the plant was converted from a 100% ICE plant to a 100% BEV plant a few years ago – was already reached.<\/p>\n
