The years 2021 to 2023 will be a turning point for e-mobility, according to Thomas Sedran, head of strategy at the VW group. ā€œAt that point, an electric car will cost the same or even be cheaper than a vehicle with a combustion engine that will stay below the CO2 limits of that time,ā€ Sedran told manager magazin. Sedran said that although emission reduction technology will increase the costs of conventional cars, batteries will become much cheaper. ā€œMoreover, there will probably soon be driving restrictions in cities, which will make e-cars much more attractive.ā€
