    The joint research on the battery’s entire value chain – from raw materials to cell technology to recycling – will kick-off in early 2020.

    The last word on raw material supply which Volkswagen considers a “key success factor,” naturally but is “confident that it will have sufficient quantities of all the raw materials required to ensure ramp-up of the e-fleet”.

    Further negotiations with other providers are ongoing though, says Volkswagen and these will indeed be essential for any battery cell production in Europe going ahead.
