Editor's comments:

The delivery of the Volkswagen ID.3 is of great significance to Volkswagen, which means that the traditional auto giant will take the first step towards a new era. For electric cars, the yardstick is no longer horsepower and speed, because these indicators of fuel vehicles are easier to achieve, but this does not mean that problems and challenges do not exist. For example, the "software crisis" within Volkswagen led to the downfall of many leaders, and even the group CEO Dis was almost dismissed as a result, which shows that the problems of the intelligent and digital age are even more difficult. For example, Peter Mertens, a former Audi R & D director, revealed that not a single line of 10 million lines of code in Volkswagen's ID.3 was written by Volkswagen engineers, which on the one hand illustrates the difficulty of software development, on the other hand, it also highlights the challenges that Volkswagen Group faces in its transformation to electrification.

Volkswagen is currently striving to become a global leader in electric vehicles, with a cumulative investment of more than 33 billion EUR, to provide electric versions for all vehicles by 2022 and plans to produce 1.5 million electric vehicles by 2025.
