Zwickau (dpa / sn) - Volkswagen Saxony wants to further expand the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles at the three locations in Zwickau, Dresden and Chemnitz.
At the end of the year, 350 charging points were now active, 150 more than a year ago, the company announced on Tuesday.
215 of them are in Zwickau, 70 in Dresden and 65 in Chemnitz.
Another 130 charging points are to follow in 2021.
All of them would be fed with electricity that comes 100 percent from renewable sources.
“With the ID.3 and ID.4, Volkswagen entered the era of electric mobility this year.
This also includes an adequate charging infrastructure, ”explained Reinhard de Vries, Managing Director Technology and Logistics at Volkswagen Saxony.
The charging points are primarily intended for VW employees, guests and customers.
A part will also be created in public parking areas around the VW locations.
Recently, one of the largest public charging parks in Saxony was created in the visitor parking lot at the Transparent Factory in Dresden with 36 charging points.
VW is now hoping that other companies will follow suit and that the state government will quickly implement the commitments made in the coalition agreement.
Charging in the workplace is a key to the breakthrough in electric mobility, it said.
It is assumed that around 20 percent of all charging processes take place in the workplace.

VW says it wants to become climate neutral by 2050.
The plan is to bring around 70 all-electric models onto the market by 2030.
In addition, a total of around 60 hybrid vehicles are planned by the end of the decade, slightly more than half of which are already in production.
