RV_ Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 It looks like the transition will happen faster that I thought. Excerpt: "Audi of America President Daniel Weissland joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss 2021 car sales, the automaker's electric vehicle portfolio, its timeline for phasing out internal combustion engine vehicles, and the outlook for EVs and autonomous driving. DANIEL WEISSLAND: So we constantly will increase our share of EV sales. And ultimately in the next few years, we probably see the tipping point that we hopefully sell more EVs and ICE vehicles. And also from a global strategy, it is that we're not going to launch new ICE vehicles after 2026. So we are fully committed to electric future. We say at Audi, our future's electric. PRAS SUBRAMANIAN: So looking ahead to 2025, when you said the company will have about 30% of its vehicles be EVs. How many more types of vehicles will be EVs. You're going to have five at the end of this year. How many more are you going to add by 2025, would you say? DANIEL WEISSLAND: So our portfolio, more than one third of our portfolio will be fully electric. And additionally, we have some plug-in hybrids. But the demand we see, already, with those electric vehicles, will hopefully then outsell even our ICEs after 2025. The customer demand is there, we see a high demand. And yeah, I'm really excited about the future." more in the article here: https://finance.yahoo.com/video/electric-vehicles-audis-entire-portfolio-222816325.html Quote RV/Derekhttp://www.rvroadie.com Email on the bottom of my website page.Retired AF 1971-1998 When you see a worthy man, endeavor to emulate him.
