It’s no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic has hit the auto industry hard. Despite the challenges the last year has brought, Volkswagen has refused to slow down. The launch of the ID.4 is the just the beginning of a massive new push for EVs and EV-related innovation for Volkswagen. This push will include a slew of new EV-based infrastructure developments in 2021.
This month, Volkswagen released a statement announcing a number of new and exciting infrastructure developments on U.S. soil. The first of these will be a massive charge park that will be installed in VW’s Innovation and Engineering Center California facility in Silicon Valley. The charge park will be able to accommodate an amazing 51 electric vehicles at the same time. When combined with the already-existing charge stations at IECC, the facility will become one of the Bay Area’s biggest charge parks.
