Last year a Volkswagen executive said extended-range EVs were the worst solution. Sales of the Li ONE with this technology have now exceeded the combined sales of Volkswagen's mid-size SUVs in China.

It would be very damaging if Germany or the EU wanted to decouple from China, says Herbert Diess.

The number of shares held by Volkswagen China in Gotion has increased to 441 million shares, raising its stake to 26.47 percent.

For the first time, Nio and Xpeng are joining Volkswagen's EU CO2 pool in 2021 and 2022 to help the automotive giant cut its average CO2 emissions.

Details of the brand are expected to be announced at next year's Beijing Auto Show, and Dongfeng Motor plans to OEM the vehicles for it.

This is the third consecutive month that the Volkswagen ID. family of electric vehicles has delivered more than 10,000 units in China.

This brings the two non-independent directors on Gotion High-tech's board all from Volkswagen.

The ID.3 does not support easy battery replacement like Nio's vehicles.

Herbert Diess' comparison of ID. family sales with Nio, Xpeng, and Li Auto has sparked an interesting discussion.

Volkswagen ID.3 deliveries in China reached 1,255 units in the first week of its launch.
