The new Salzgitter battery plant will employ up to 5,000 people with cell production starting in 2025. "After Salzgitter, VW plans another plant in Valencia, Spain, and sites are being evaluated for the remaining plants, including the possibility of plants in North America. Each plant will produce 40GWh of batteries per year for a total of 240GWh", according to the article. So up to 20,000 people will ultimately be employed.
Big question is where does VW source its battery materials? A lot of jobs are on the line!!!
