Volkswagen has broken ground on an $800 million expansion of its Tennessee production facility that will eventually house assembly lines for electric vehicles.
The Wednesday announcement marks the beginning of a shift toward battery-electric vehicles for the U.S. market. While Americans will not see this generation of VW’s new ID 3 battery-electric hatchback, the lines that will eventually be built in this 564,000-square-foot facility will be tooled for the production of American-market electric vehicles.
“This is a big, big moment for this company,” said VW of America CEO Scott Keogh. “Expanding local production sets the foundation for our sustainable growth in the U.S. Electric vehicles are the future of mobility and Volkswagen will build them for millions, not just millionaires.”
