Volkswagen has accelerated the construction of charging piles to help its goal of delivering 1.5 million new energy vehicles in China by 2025.

          At the 3rd China International Import Expo (hereinafter referred to as the "CIIE"), Volkswagen China CEO Feng Sihan revealed to the public the layout of Volkswagen's charging pile field in China. He said, "Currently, KAMSIL has deployed 40 super charging stations in Beijing, Chengdu and Shenzhen."

          Kaimais plans to build 255 charging stations in 16 cities across the country before the end of the year, including 1,800 dual-gun DC charging piles.

According to public information, KAMS New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "KMS") is a charging joint venture company owned by Volkswagen.

In July last year, Volkswagen (China) Investment Co., Ltd., China FAW Co., Ltd., Wanbang Digital Energy Co., Ltd. (the parent company of Xingxing Charging Company), and Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group Co., Ltd. jointly established KMS ( CAMS), with a total investment of 4 billion yuan.

According to the data from Tianyan Check, the registered capital of Kaimaisi is 812 million yuan. Volkswagen China, China FAW and Wanbang Digital all hold 28.57% of the shares in Kaimais, and Jianghuai Automobile holds 14.29% of the shares.

For the private charging market, KMS provides smart charging wall box products. In the field of public charging, Kaimaisi plans to deploy a network of fast charging stations, which can realize charging for 15 minutes and the vehicle battery life can reach 400 kilometers. KMS is also exploring the deployment of wireless charging, smart robot charging and other technical products.

In September of this year, Volkswagen and KMS built the first branded super charging station in Beijing.

Moreover, the ID.4 series of electric vehicle products that Volkswagen has just launched also mainly relies on the Kaimais charging network for charging. Feng Sihan said that by opening the CAMS PLUS app, you can reserve charging piles, navigation, smart lock, plug and charge and other functions.

Kaimais is an important part of Volkswagen's global charging strategy. Volkswagen Group is currently accelerating its electrification in China.

Volkswagen proposed in September that it would unite SAIC-Volkswagen, FAW-Volkswagen and JAC Volkswagen to jointly invest about 15 billion Euros between 2020 and 2024.

           At the same time, it plans to produce 15 domestically produced new energy vehicles by 2025, and pure electric vehicles will account for 35% of the group's product portfolio. Feng Sihan said that on the basis of this product portfolio, Volkswagen plans to deliver about 1.5 million new energy vehicles in the Chinese market every year.

          Senior automotive analyst Ren Wanfu said that Volkswagen's acceleration of electrification in China is also to further cultivate the Chinese market and maintain its leading position.
