by end of 2021 they only expect 330k total BEV vehicles globally.. that is not a big push from a company making over ten million cars per year. now they expect to reach a million per year by 2023 but that still keeps their percentage very low.

the simple truth is, no they aren't trying very hard. they have to cater both to politicians and unions at home neither of which can sustain the job losses BEVs will lead too; not just in the manufacturing but it cascades into after market, petrol refining, gas stations, and more.



It's just a multi-year initiative. Takes a bit time to develop the cars, have the factories for them and bring the cars to market.

If you follow Volkswagen news, you can see that they are steady making progress and and have a very large initiative.
