Volkswagen AG anticipates reaching its target of selling one million electric vehicles (EVs) by 2025, per Reuters. Strong demand from China and Europe and untapped potential in the southern hemisphere are behind this positive expectation.

By 2025, the company intends to deliver one million VW-brand EVs every year. This strategy, to enter into volume production of EVs, has been taken by the company as its rival Tesla, Inc. (TSLA - Free Report) is investing enormous amount for the mass production of the Model 3.
An upsurge in EV investment in China, the world’s largest auto market, can be attributed to the efforts adopted by the mainland to tackle air pollution.

Apart from China, Europe and the United States, Volkswagen also sees huge opportunities in other areas, including South America.
