Representative survey: Next car - majority of Europeans want to buy an electric car

Spend less and live more consciously to avoid having to give up too much. This is the European motto in times of an energy crisis and inflation. One in three people are restricting their mobility and plan to make fewer car journeys. However, individual mobility remains essential and owning a car is important. These are the findings of a representative survey carried out by mm customer strategy. With support from Volkswagen, the consulting company surveyed more than 7,500 people in the five countries of Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain.

The drive system question - The future of the car: The five greatest strengths of e-mobility

Does this sound familiar? Friends, colleagues and family members discussing whether electric cars are truly the future. Would other drive systems – particularly hydrogen – not be a better solution? Most scientists believe this question has already been answered. “It has been shown in many studies that electric drive systems are by far the most efficient methods for powering vehicles,” says Prof. Maximilian Fichtner, battery expert at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). We have summarised what you need to know in five points – the great strengths of e-mobility.

Renaissance of an ingenious idea - From the T2 electric “Bulli” to the ID. Buzz

Germany is crowned European football champion for the first time, a band by the name of ABBA is formed in Sweden, and the first all-electric Volkswagen van rolls off the assembly line in Wolfsburg. The year is 1972 – and what not many people know is that it was in this year, that the dream of a zero-emission “Bulli” for everyday use was born. A dream that is to become reality 50 years later with the ID. Buzz. We journey back to the van’s roots.
