VW Group smashes EV sales targets – but it’s not all good news

When does success also represent failure for a car company? For the Volkswagen Group, it’s when EV sales are better than planned.

EVs are now running at 40% of the total orders for Volkswagen Group vehicles to the end of September, the company said on its third-quarter earnings call. That’s compared with around 25% of its registrations so far this year in Europe.
