      In an attempt to deliver more eco-friendlier cars the German carmaker Volkswagen has come up with a plan to invest about $10 million towards electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure developments. The development is indeed a part of recent agreements undertaken by BMW and ChargePoint to develop DC quick charging outlets along both US coasts.

      Speaking more about the vehicle during 2015 Electric Drive Congress held in Washington DC, Jörg Sommer, Volkswagen’s vice president for product marketing and strategy in America said, “Automakers have effectively delivered electric vehicles that can satisfy the needs of most American drivers. In addition to the investment we and other companies and industries are making, we would like to see federal financing support for establishing fast charging networks in urban areas and interstate corridors. We’d like to see more state and federal organizations commit to cleaner fleets by purchasing EVs and PHEVs. This should be a US Government priority, and federal purchasing guidelines should reflect that by giving fleet purchasers the flexibility they need. We need further congressional support with the mid-term review of the EPA’s greenhouse gas regulation to extend the multiplier credits for plug-in vehicles beyond MY21.”

      The company has also reportedly signed an agreement with SunPower to install solar system in e-Golf electric vehicle user homes to enable easy charging facility. e-Golf buyers also get an option to purchase hardware packages and home charging installation from Bosch.
