The general manager of Volkswagen revealed that in order to save costs, the ID.3 will be replaced with lithium iron phosphate batteries next year.

A few days ago, a blogger posted on Weibo that:Jia Jianxu, general manager of SAIC Volkswagen, revealed part of the product plan in an exclusive interview with the media.According to the blogger:Currently, Volkswagen ID.3 is still losing money. Before the price reduction, each car sold would lose 27,000 yuan. After the price reduction, the loss per car exceeded 40,000 yuan..

In order to further save costs,Starting from the first quarter of next year, Volkswagen ID.3 will switch to lithium iron phosphate batteries. After the replacement, its production cost will drop by 19,000 yuan. In the second quarter, the ID.3 will completely turn a profit.

It is worth mentioning thatJia Jianxu also made a bold statement: "The dolphin is going to jump, the cat is going to explode."It can be seen that the ID.3 equipped with a lithium iron phosphate battery will compete fiercely with BYD Dolphin, Euler Good Cat and other models.

Judging from the past September, orders for the Volkswagen ID. family exceeded 20,000 units in September, of which ID.3 models accounted for 15,000 units. As of the end of September this year, cumulative sales of the ID. family had exceeded 160,000 units. As a joint venture brand, such results are already very good.
