It has adopted a model that offers customers everything from cars to battery storage to solar panels as well aselectricityin some U.S. states.\nVolkswagen is now selling power to retail clients that drive an EV or plug-in hybrids. One of its tariffs - which is available to customers who don't own a VW - has attracted more than 10,000 clients since its launch in July, Temme said.\nShe said VW was planning to make its fast-chargers available for all EV drivers, unlike Tesla which has so far kept its supercharging network just for Tesla drivers - with the exception of a pilot programme in the Netherlands.\n\"We are pursuing a different approach than Tesla when it comes to charging infrastructure roll-out,\" said Temme.\n\"We want an open, non-discriminatory charging network and will develop our services to make our offer more comfortable, simpler, more attractive.\"\nVolkswagen says its open-for-all approach means buyers of its EVs can charge at more than 250,000 existing public charging points across Europe - from various providers with various charging speeds.\nThe problem is that charging protocols and payment methods can vary across vendors, potentially turning the act of refueling an EV into a time-consuming and messy undertaking.\nFrom the first quarter of 2022, Volkswagen plans to offer \"Plug & Charge\" technology in Europe to make the process smoother.\nThe car will store the owner's payment details and make a contactless payment when the charging plug is attached to the EV at refuelling stations set up for the service.\nWhile these are new challenges for established carmakers, Temme, who witnessed first-hand the abrupt shift of Germany's utilities away from nuclear power in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, believes they can be mastered.\n\"Utilities must reinvent themselves and transition from nuclear and coal to renewables.

It has adopted a model that offers customers everything from cars to battery storage to solar panels as well aselectricityin some U.S. states.<blockquote>特斯拉已经表明，在电动汽车方面，仅仅销售汽车已经不够了。它采用了一种模式，为客户提供从汽车到电池存储到太阳能电池板以及美国一些州的电力等一切服务。</blockquote> Volkswagen is now selling power to retail clients that drive an EV or plug-in hybrids. One of its tariffs - which is available to customers who don't own a VW - has attracted more than 10,000 clients since its launch in July, Temme said.<blockquote>大众汽车现在向驾驶电动汽车或插电式混合动力车的零售客户出售电力。Temme表示，自7月份推出以来，其中一项关税（适用于没有大众汽车的客户）已吸引了10,000多名客户。</blockquote> She said VW was planning to make its fast-chargers available for all EV drivers, unlike Tesla which has so far kept its supercharging network just for Tesla drivers - with the exception of a pilot programme in the Netherlands.<blockquote>她表示，大众汽车计划向所有电动汽车驾驶员提供快速充电器，而特斯拉迄今为止仅为特斯拉驾驶员保留其超级充电网络，但荷兰的试点计划除外。</blockquote> \"We are pursuing a different approach than Tesla when it comes to charging infrastructure roll-out,\" said Temme.<blockquote>“在充电基础设施的推出方面，我们正在采取与特斯拉不同的方法，”Temme说。</blockquote> \"We want an open, non-discriminatory charging network and will develop our services to make our offer more comfortable, simpler, more attractive.\"<blockquote>“我们想要一个开放、非歧视性的充电网络，并将开发我们的服务，使我们的服务更舒适、更简单、更有吸引力。”</blockquote> Volkswagen says its open-for-all approach means buyers of its EVs can charge at more than 250,000 existing public charging points across Europe - from various providers with various charging speeds.<blockquote>大众汽车表示，其向所有人开放的方式意味着其电动汽车的买家可以在欧洲超过25万个现有的公共充电点充电——这些充电点来自不同的提供商，具有不同的充电速度。</blockquote> The problem is that charging protocols and payment methods can vary across vendors, potentially turning the act of refueling an EV into a time-consuming and messy undertaking.<blockquote>问题在于，不同供应商的充电协议和支付方式可能会有所不同，这可能会将电动汽车加油的行为变成一项耗时且混乱的任务。</blockquote> From the first quarter of 2022, Volkswagen plans to offer \"Plug &amp; Charge\" technology in Europe to make the process smoother.<blockquote>从2022年第一季度开始，大众汽车计划在欧洲提供“即插即充”技术，以使这一过程更加顺利。</blockquote> The car will store the owner's payment details and make a contactless payment when the charging plug is attached to the EV at refuelling stations set up for the service.<blockquote>当充电插头连接到电动汽车时，汽车将存储车主的付款详细信息，并在为该服务设立的加油站进行非接触式支付。</blockquote> While these are new challenges for established carmakers, Temme, who witnessed first-hand the abrupt shift of Germany's utilities away from nuclear power in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, believes they can be mastered.<blockquote>虽然这些对老牌汽车制造商来说是新的挑战，但亲眼目睹了福岛灾难后德国公用事业公司突然放弃核电的Temme相信这些挑战是可以应对的。</blockquote> \"Utilities must reinvent themselves and transition from nuclear and coal to renewables. In the automotive industry, including at Volkswagen, the question is currently how to consistently shift the focus from conventional vehicles to sustainable mobility,\" she said.<blockquote>“公用事业公司必须重塑自我，从核能和煤炭转向可再生能源。在汽车行业，包括大众汽车，目前的问题是如何始终如一地将重点从传统汽车转向可持续交通，”她说。</blockquote> \"These challenges are of similar magnitude.\"<blockquote>“这些挑战的规模相似。”</blockquote> ($1 = 0.8738 euros)<blockquote>（1美元=0.8738欧元）</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

We always see these investments in the overall context of our group strategy,\" she said. \"That's why building up a comprehensive infrastructure is key.\"<blockquote>“我们正在投资巨大的增长领域，这些领域并不总是必须立即盈利。我们总是在集团战略的整体背景下看待这些投资，”她说。“这就是为什么建立全面的基础设施是关键。”</blockquote> Temme declined to specify the budget she has been given but said Volkswagen, led by Tesla admirer Herbert Diess, has approved the investment requests for the division, which also sells home battery storage systems similar to Tesla's Powerwall.<blockquote>Temme拒绝透露她获得的预算，但表示由特斯拉崇拜者Herbert Diess领导的大众汽车已经批准了该部门的投资请求，该部门还销售类似于特斯拉Powerwall的家用电池存储系统。</blockquote> Volkswagen leads the pack worldwide by far with its investment plans for EVs and batteries through 2030, according to a&nbsp;Reuters analysis, and it is planning to spend 35 billion euros on battery EVs by 2025.<blockquote>据路透社分析，大众汽车在2030年之前的电动汽车和电池投资计划在全球范围内处于领先地位，并计划到2025年在电池电动汽车上花费350亿欧元。</blockquote> PLAYING CATCH UP<blockquote>玩追赶游戏</blockquote> But when it comes to the networks of fast-chargers that many analysts believe are crucial for bringing EVs into the mainstream, VW has some catching up to do.<blockquote>但当谈到快速充电器网络时，许多分析师认为这对于将电动汽车纳入主流至关重要，大众汽车还有一些工作要做。</blockquote> Tesla has been rolling out high-performance Superchargers for years and has a global network of about 30,000 fast-chargers that it says can give a 200 km (125 mile) boost in 15 minutes.<blockquote>特斯拉多年来一直在推出高性能超级充电器，并拥有一个由约30,000个快速充电器组成的全球网络，据称可以在15分钟内充电200公里（125英里）。</blockquote> The company said in October that its own network has doubled in the past 18 months - and will triple over the next two years.<blockquote>该公司在10月份表示，其自己的网络在过去18个月内翻了一番，并将在未来两年内增加两倍。</blockquote> Volkswagen, meanwhile expects its network of fast-chargers to nearly quadruple to about 45,000 by 2025 - when it aims to overhaul Tesla as the global EV market leader - with 18,000 EV pumps in Europe, 17,000 in China and 10,000 in North America.<blockquote>与此同时，大众汽车预计，到2025年，其快速充电器网络将增加近四倍，达到约45,000个，目标是超越特斯拉成为全球电动汽车市场领导者，其中欧洲有18,000个电动汽车泵，中国有17,000个，北美有10,000个。</blockquote> Volkswagen in March said it plans to spend 400 million euros on expanding its fast-charging network on the continent by then.<blockquote>大众汽车今年3月表示，计划届时斥资4亿欧元扩大其在欧洲大陆的快速充电网络。</blockquote> But that's a drop in the ocean compared with the 5 billion euros the European Union reckons is needed every year until 2040 to expand charging infrastructure on the continent, and it is raising the pressure on utilities and governments to step up.<blockquote>但与欧盟估计到2040年每年需要50亿欧元来扩大欧洲大陆的充电基础设施相比，这只是沧海一粟，而且这增加了公用事业公司和政府采取行动的压力。</blockquote> In Europe, the Volkswagen group is a shareholder in the EU's fast-charging venture Ionity, along with rival carmakers BMW, Daimler's&nbsp;Mercedes-Benz, Ford&nbsp;and Hyundai.<blockquote>在欧洲，大众汽车集团是欧盟快速充电企业Ionity的股东，其他股东还有竞争对手汽车制造商宝马、戴姆勒旗下的梅赛德斯-奔驰、福特和现代。</blockquote> It has also teamed up with energy firms such as Italy's Enel, Britain's BP&nbsp;and Spain's Iberdrola&nbsp;to plug geographical gaps and form the blueprint for how funding for EV infrastructure can be split across industries.<blockquote>它还与意大利Enel、英国BP和西班牙Iberdrola等能源公司合作，填补地域差距，并为电动汽车基础设施资金如何跨行业分配制定蓝图。</blockquote> \"Various models are conceivable, from product partnerships and joint ventures to M&amp;A,\" said Temme.<blockquote>“可以想象各种模式，从产品合作伙伴关系和合资企业到并购，”Temme说。</blockquote> CARS AND POWER<blockquote>汽车与动力</blockquote> Tesla has already shown that when it comes to EVs, just selling cars no longer cuts it. It has adopted a model that offers customers everything from cars to battery storage to solar panels as well aselectricityin some U.S. states.<blockquote>特斯拉已经表明，在电动汽车方面，仅仅销售汽车已经不够了。它采用了一种模式，为客户提供从汽车到电池存储到太阳能电池板以及美国一些州的电力等一切服务。</blockquote> Volkswagen is now selling power to retail clients that drive an EV or plug-in hybrids. One of its tariffs - which is available to customers who don't own a VW - has attracted more than 10,000 clients since its launch in July, Temme said.<blockquote>大众汽车现在向驾驶电动汽车或插电式混合动力车的零售客户出售电力。Temme表示，自7月份推出以来，其中一项关税（适用于没有大众汽车的客户）已吸引了10,000多名客户。</blockquote> She said VW was planning to make its fast-chargers available for all EV drivers, unlike Tesla which has so far kept its supercharging network just for Tesla drivers - with the exception of a pilot programme in the Netherlands.<blockquote>她表示，大众汽车计划向所有电动汽车驾驶员提供快速充电器，而特斯拉迄今为止仅为特斯拉驾驶员保留其超级充电网络，但荷兰的试点计划除外。</blockquote> \"We are pursuing a different approach than Tesla when it comes to charging infrastructure roll-out,\" said Temme.<blockquote>“在充电基础设施的推出方面，我们正在采取与特斯拉不同的方法，”Temme说。</blockquote> \"We want an open, non-discriminatory charging network and will develop our services to make our offer more comfortable, simpler, more attractive.\"<blockquote>“我们想要一个开放、非歧视性的充电网络，并将开发我们的服务，使我们的服务更舒适、更简单、更有吸引力。”</blockquote> Volkswagen says its open-for-all approach means buyers of its EVs can charge at more than 250,000 existing public charging points across Europe - from various providers with various charging speeds.<blockquote>大众汽车表示，其向所有人开放的方式意味着其电动汽车的买家可以在欧洲超过25万个现有的公共充电点充电——这些充电点来自不同的提供商，具有不同的充电速度。</blockquote> The problem is that charging protocols and payment methods can vary across vendors, potentially turning the act of refueling an EV into a time-consuming and messy undertaking.<blockquote>问题在于，不同供应商的充电协议和支付方式可能会有所不同，这可能会将电动汽车加油的行为变成一项耗时且混乱的任务。</blockquote> From the first quarter of 2022, Volkswagen plans to offer \"Plug &amp; Charge\" technology in Europe to make the process smoother.<blockquote>从2022年第一季度开始，大众汽车计划在欧洲提供“即插即充”技术，以使这一过程更加顺利。</blockquote> The car will store the owner's payment details and make a contactless payment when the charging plug is attached to the EV at refuelling stations set up for the service.<blockquote>当充电插头连接到电动汽车时，汽车将存储车主的付款详细信息，并在为该服务设立的加油站进行非接触式支付。</blockquote> While these are new challenges for established carmakers, Temme, who witnessed first-hand the abrupt shift of Germany's utilities away from nuclear power in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, believes they can be mastered.<blockquote>虽然这些对老牌汽车制造商来说是新的挑战，但亲眼目睹了福岛灾难后德国公用事业公司突然放弃核电的Temme相信这些挑战是可以应对的。</blockquote> \"Utilities must reinvent themselves and transition from nuclear and coal to renewables. In the automotive industry, including at Volkswagen, the question is currently how to consistently shift the focus from conventional vehicles to sustainable mobility,\" she said.<blockquote>“公用事业公司必须重塑自我，从核能和煤炭转向可再生能源。在汽车行业，包括大众汽车，目前的问题是如何始终如一地将重点从传统汽车转向可持续交通，”她说。</blockquote> \"These challenges are of similar magnitude.\"<blockquote>“这些挑战的规模相似。”</blockquote> ($1 = 0.8738 euros)<blockquote>（1美元=0.8738欧元）</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/volkswagen-powers-up-grid-take-tesla-2021-11-17/\">Reuters</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉","VLKAF":"Volkswagen AG"},"source_url":"https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/volkswagen-powers-up-grid-take-tesla-2021-11-17/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1125512482","content_text":"Volkswagen plans to double staff numbers at its charging and energy division, roll out new payment technology next year and strike more alliances to take on Tesla in a key electric vehicle (EV) battleground: power infrastructure.\nBy ensuring there are enough fast-charging plugs - and enough power - for the EVs it wants to sell, Europe's biggest carmaker hopes to convince drivers worried about battery ranges that they can ditch their fossil fuel cars for good.\nUnderlining its electric ambition, Volkswagen has drafted in power industry veteran Elke Temme, who spent nearly two decades at German energy companies RWE and Innogy, to help the carmaker get in better shape to take on Tesla.\nIn the job since January, Temme, 53, has been tasked with bundling the carmaker's various power activities such as procuring energy, enabling customers to charge their cars at home, and on the road, and selling the electricity required.\nGetting this done will require a bigger workforce and Temme plans to double the staff at Volkswagen's European charging and energy division, known as Elli, to about 300 in 2022, having already tripled it this year, she told Reuters in an interview.\n\"We're investing in huge growth areas that don't always have to be profitable right away.

We always see these investments in the overall context of our group strategy,\" she said. \"That's why building up a comprehensive infrastructure is key.\"<blockquote>“我们正在投资巨大的增长领域，这些领域并不总是必须立即盈利。我们总是在集团战略的整体背景下看待这些投资，”她说。“这就是为什么建立全面的基础设施是关键。”</blockquote> Temme declined to specify the budget she has been given but said Volkswagen, led by Tesla admirer Herbert Diess, has approved the investment requests for the division, which also sells home battery storage systems similar to Tesla's Powerwall.<blockquote>Temme拒绝透露她获得的预算，但表示由特斯拉崇拜者Herbert Diess领导的大众汽车已经批准了该部门的投资请求，该部门还销售类似于特斯拉Powerwall的家用电池存储系统。</blockquote> Volkswagen leads the pack worldwide by far with its investment plans for EVs and batteries through 2030, according to a&nbsp;Reuters analysis, and it is planning to spend 35 billion euros on battery EVs by 2025.<blockquote>据路透社分析，大众汽车在2030年之前的电动汽车和电池投资计划在全球范围内处于领先地位，并计划到2025年在电池电动汽车上花费350亿欧元。</blockquote> PLAYING CATCH UP<blockquote>玩追赶游戏</blockquote> But when it comes to the networks of fast-chargers that many analysts believe are crucial for bringing EVs into the mainstream, VW has some catching up to do.<blockquote>但当谈到快速充电器网络时，许多分析师认为这对于将电动汽车纳入主流至关重要，大众汽车还有一些工作要做。</blockquote> Tesla has been rolling out high-performance Superchargers for years and has a global network of about 30,000 fast-chargers that it says can give a 200 km (125 mile) boost in 15 minutes.<blockquote>特斯拉多年来一直在推出高性能超级充电器，并拥有一个由约30,000个快速充电器组成的全球网络，据称可以在15分钟内充电200公里（125英里）。</blockquote> The company said in October that its own network has doubled in the past 18 months - and will triple over the next two years.<blockquote>该公司在10月份表示，其自己的网络在过去18个月内翻了一番，并将在未来两年内增加两倍。</blockquote> Volkswagen, meanwhile expects its network of fast-chargers to nearly quadruple to about 45,000 by 2025 - when it aims to overhaul Tesla as the global EV market leader - with 18,000 EV pumps in Europe, 17,000 in China and 10,000 in North America.<blockquote>与此同时，大众汽车预计，到2025年，其快速充电器网络将增加近四倍，达到约45,000个，目标是超越特斯拉成为全球电动汽车市场领导者，其中欧洲有18,000个电动汽车泵，中国有17,000个，北美有10,000个。</blockquote> Volkswagen in March said it plans to spend 400 million euros on expanding its fast-charging network on the continent by then.<blockquote>大众汽车今年3月表示，计划届时斥资4亿欧元扩大其在欧洲大陆的快速充电网络。</blockquote> But that's a drop in the ocean compared with the 5 billion euros the European Union reckons is needed every year until 2040 to expand charging infrastructure on the continent, and it is raising the pressure on utilities and governments to step up.<blockquote>但与欧盟估计到2040年每年需要50亿欧元来扩大欧洲大陆的充电基础设施相比，这只是沧海一粟，而且这增加了公用事业公司和政府采取行动的压力。</blockquote> In Europe, the Volkswagen group is a shareholder in the EU's fast-charging venture Ionity, along with rival carmakers BMW, Daimler's&nbsp;Mercedes-Benz, Ford&nbsp;and Hyundai.<blockquote>在欧洲，大众汽车集团是欧盟快速充电企业Ionity的股东，其他股东还有竞争对手汽车制造商宝马、戴姆勒旗下的梅赛德斯-奔驰、福特和现代。</blockquote> It has also teamed up with energy firms such as Italy's Enel, Britain's BP&nbsp;and Spain's Iberdrola&nbsp;to plug geographical gaps and form the blueprint for how funding for EV infrastructure can be split across industries.<blockquote>它还与意大利Enel、英国BP和西班牙Iberdrola等能源公司合作，填补地域差距，并为电动汽车基础设施资金如何跨行业分配制定蓝图。</blockquote> \"Various models are conceivable, from product partnerships and joint ventures to M&amp;A,\" said Temme.<blockquote>“可以想象各种模式，从产品合作伙伴关系和合资企业到并购，”Temme说。</blockquote> CARS AND POWER<blockquote>汽车与动力</blockquote> Tesla has already shown that when it comes to EVs, just selling cars no longer cuts it. It has adopted a model that offers customers everything from cars to battery storage to solar panels as well aselectricityin some U.S. states.<blockquote>特斯拉已经表明，在电动汽车方面，仅仅销售汽车已经不够了。它采用了一种模式，为客户提供从汽车到电池存储到太阳能电池板以及美国一些州的电力等一切服务。</blockquote> Volkswagen is now selling power to retail clients that drive an EV or plug-in hybrids. One of its tariffs - which is available to customers who don't own a VW - has attracted more than 10,000 clients since its launch in July, Temme said.<blockquote>大众汽车现在向驾驶电动汽车或插电式混合动力车的零售客户出售电力。Temme表示，自7月份推出以来，其中一项关税（适用于没有大众汽车的客户）已吸引了10,000多名客户。</blockquote> She said VW was planning to make its fast-chargers available for all EV drivers, unlike Tesla which has so far kept its supercharging network just for Tesla drivers - with the exception of a pilot programme in the Netherlands.<blockquote>她表示，大众汽车计划向所有电动汽车驾驶员提供快速充电器，而特斯拉迄今为止仅为特斯拉驾驶员保留其超级充电网络，但荷兰的试点计划除外。</blockquote> \"We are pursuing a different approach than Tesla when it comes to charging infrastructure roll-out,\" said Temme.<blockquote>“在充电基础设施的推出方面，我们正在采取与特斯拉不同的方法，”Temme说。</blockquote> \"We want an open, non-discriminatory charging network and will develop our services to make our offer more comfortable, simpler, more attractive.\"<blockquote>“我们想要一个开放、非歧视性的充电网络，并将开发我们的服务，使我们的服务更舒适、更简单、更有吸引力。”</blockquote> Volkswagen says its open-for-all approach means buyers of its EVs can charge at more than 250,000 existing public charging points across Europe - from various providers with various charging speeds.<blockquote>大众汽车表示，其向所有人开放的方式意味着其电动汽车的买家可以在欧洲超过25万个现有的公共充电点充电——这些充电点来自不同的提供商，具有不同的充电速度。</blockquote> The problem is that charging protocols and payment methods can vary across vendors, potentially turning the act of refueling an EV into a time-consuming and messy undertaking.<blockquote>问题在于，不同供应商的充电协议和支付方式可能会有所不同，这可能会将电动汽车加油的行为变成一项耗时且混乱的任务。</blockquote> From the first quarter of 2022, Volkswagen plans to offer \"Plug &amp; Charge\" technology in Europe to make the process smoother.<blockquote>从2022年第一季度开始，大众汽车计划在欧洲提供“即插即充”技术，以使这一过程更加顺利。</blockquote> The car will store the owner's payment details and make a contactless payment when the charging plug is attached to the EV at refuelling stations set up for the service.<blockquote>当充电插头连接到电动汽车时，汽车将存储车主的付款详细信息，并在为该服务设立的加油站进行非接触式支付。</blockquote> While these are new challenges for established carmakers, Temme, who witnessed first-hand the abrupt shift of Germany's utilities away from nuclear power in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, believes they can be mastered.<blockquote>虽然这些对老牌汽车制造商来说是新的挑战，但亲眼目睹了福岛灾难后德国公用事业公司突然放弃核电的Temme相信这些挑战是可以应对的。</blockquote> \"Utilities must reinvent themselves and transition from nuclear and coal to renewables. In the automotive industry, including at Volkswagen, the question is currently how to consistently shift the focus from conventional vehicles to sustainable mobility,\" she said.<blockquote>“公用事业公司必须重塑自我，从核能和煤炭转向可再生能源。在汽车行业，包括大众汽车，目前的问题是如何始终如一地将重点从传统汽车转向可持续交通，”她说。</blockquote> \"These challenges are of similar magnitude.\"<blockquote>“这些挑战的规模相似。”</blockquote> ($1 = 0.8738 euros)<blockquote>（1美元=0.8738欧元）</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/volkswagen-powers-up-grid-take-tesla-2021-11-17/\">Reuters</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉","VLKAF":"Volkswagen AG"},"source_url":"https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/volkswagen-powers-up-grid-take-tesla-2021-11-17/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1125512482","content_text":"Volkswagen plans to double staff numbers at its charging and energy division, roll out new payment technology next year and strike more alliances to take on Tesla in a key electric vehicle (EV) battleground: power infrastructure.\nBy ensuring there are enough fast-charging plugs - and enough power - for the EVs it wants to sell, Europe's biggest carmaker hopes to convince drivers worried about battery ranges that they can ditch their fossil fuel cars for good.\nUnderlining its electric ambition, Volkswagen has drafted in power industry veteran Elke Temme, who spent nearly two decades at German energy companies RWE and Innogy, to help the carmaker get in better shape to take on Tesla.\nIn the job since January, Temme, 53, has been tasked with bundling the carmaker's various power activities such as procuring energy, enabling customers to charge their cars at home, and on the road, and selling the electricity required.\nGetting this done will require a bigger workforce and Temme plans to double the staff at Volkswagen's European charging and energy division, known as Elli, to about 300 in 2022, having already tripled it this year, she told Reuters in an interview.\n\"We're investing in huge growth areas that don't always have to be profitable right away.

One of its tariffs - which is available to customers who don't own a VW - has attracted more than 10,000 clients since its launch in July, Temme said.<blockquote>大众汽车现在向驾驶电动汽车或插电式混合动力车的零售客户出售电力。Temme表示，自7月份推出以来，其中一项关税（适用于没有大众汽车的客户）已吸引了10,000多名客户。</blockquote> She said VW was planning to make its fast-chargers available for all EV drivers, unlike Tesla which has so far kept its supercharging network just for Tesla drivers - with the exception of a pilot programme in the Netherlands.<blockquote>她表示，大众汽车计划向所有电动汽车驾驶员提供快速充电器，而特斯拉迄今为止仅为特斯拉驾驶员保留其超级充电网络，但荷兰的试点计划除外。</blockquote> \"We are pursuing a different approach than Tesla when it comes to charging infrastructure roll-out,\" said Temme.<blockquote>“在充电基础设施的推出方面，我们正在采取与特斯拉不同的方法，”Temme说。</blockquote> \"We want an open, non-discriminatory charging network and will develop our services to make our offer more comfortable, simpler, more attractive.\"<blockquote>“我们想要一个开放、非歧视性的充电网络，并将开发我们的服务，使我们的服务更舒适、更简单、更有吸引力。”</blockquote> Volkswagen says its open-for-all approach means buyers of its EVs can charge at more than 250,000 existing public charging points across Europe - from various providers with various charging speeds.<blockquote>大众汽车表示，其向所有人开放的方式意味着其电动汽车的买家可以在欧洲超过25万个现有的公共充电点充电——这些充电点来自不同的提供商，具有不同的充电速度。</blockquote> The problem is that charging protocols and payment methods can vary across vendors, potentially turning the act of refueling an EV into a time-consuming and messy undertaking.<blockquote>问题在于，不同供应商的充电协议和支付方式可能会有所不同，这可能会将电动汽车加油的行为变成一项耗时且混乱的任务。</blockquote> From the first quarter of 2022, Volkswagen plans to offer \"Plug &amp; Charge\" technology in Europe to make the process smoother.<blockquote>从2022年第一季度开始，大众汽车计划在欧洲提供“即插即充”技术，以使这一过程更加顺利。</blockquote> The car will store the owner's payment details and make a contactless payment when the charging plug is attached to the EV at refuelling stations set up for the service.<blockquote>当充电插头连接到电动汽车时，汽车将存储车主的付款详细信息，并在为该服务设立的加油站进行非接触式支付。</blockquote> While these are new challenges for established carmakers, Temme, who witnessed first-hand the abrupt shift of Germany's utilities away from nuclear power in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, believes they can be mastered.<blockquote>虽然这些对老牌汽车制造商来说是新的挑战，但亲眼目睹了福岛灾难后德国公用事业公司突然放弃核电的Temme相信这些挑战是可以应对的。</blockquote> \"Utilities must reinvent themselves and transition from nuclear and coal to renewables. In the automotive industry, including at Volkswagen, the question is currently how to consistently shift the focus from conventional vehicles to sustainable mobility,\" she said.<blockquote>“公用事业公司必须重塑自我，从核能和煤炭转向可再生能源。在汽车行业，包括大众汽车，目前的问题是如何始终如一地将重点从传统汽车转向可持续交通，”她说。</blockquote> \"These challenges are of similar magnitude.\"<blockquote>“这些挑战的规模相似。”</blockquote> ($1 = 0.8738 euros)<blockquote>（1美元=0.8738欧元）</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

It has adopted a model that offers customers everything from cars to battery storage to solar panels as well aselectricityin some U.S. states.<blockquote>特斯拉已经表明，在电动汽车方面，仅仅销售汽车已经不够了。它采用了一种模式，为客户提供从汽车到电池存储到太阳能电池板以及美国一些州的电力等一切服务。</blockquote> Volkswagen is now selling power to retail clients that drive an EV or plug-in hybrids. One of its tariffs - which is available to customers who don't own a VW - has attracted more than 10,000 clients since its launch in July, Temme said.<blockquote>大众汽车现在向驾驶电动汽车或插电式混合动力车的零售客户出售电力。Temme表示，自7月份推出以来，其中一项关税（适用于没有大众汽车的客户）已吸引了10,000多名客户。</blockquote> She said VW was planning to make its fast-chargers available for all EV drivers, unlike Tesla which has so far kept its supercharging network just for Tesla drivers - with the exception of a pilot programme in the Netherlands.<blockquote>她表示，大众汽车计划向所有电动汽车驾驶员提供快速充电器，而特斯拉迄今为止仅为特斯拉驾驶员保留其超级充电网络，但荷兰的试点计划除外。</blockquote> \"We are pursuing a different approach than Tesla when it comes to charging infrastructure roll-out,\" said Temme.<blockquote>“在充电基础设施的推出方面，我们正在采取与特斯拉不同的方法，”Temme说。</blockquote> \"We want an open, non-discriminatory charging network and will develop our services to make our offer more comfortable, simpler, more attractive.\"<blockquote>“我们想要一个开放、非歧视性的充电网络，并将开发我们的服务，使我们的服务更舒适、更简单、更有吸引力。”</blockquote> Volkswagen says its open-for-all approach means buyers of its EVs can charge at more than 250,000 existing public charging points across Europe - from various providers with various charging speeds.<blockquote>大众汽车表示，其向所有人开放的方式意味着其电动汽车的买家可以在欧洲超过25万个现有的公共充电点充电——这些充电点来自不同的提供商，具有不同的充电速度。</blockquote> The problem is that charging protocols and payment methods can vary across vendors, potentially turning the act of refueling an EV into a time-consuming and messy undertaking.<blockquote>问题在于，不同供应商的充电协议和支付方式可能会有所不同，这可能会将电动汽车加油的行为变成一项耗时且混乱的任务。</blockquote> From the first quarter of 2022, Volkswagen plans to offer \"Plug &amp; Charge\" technology in Europe to make the process smoother.<blockquote>从2022年第一季度开始，大众汽车计划在欧洲提供“即插即充”技术，以使这一过程更加顺利。</blockquote> The car will store the owner's payment details and make a contactless payment when the charging plug is attached to the EV at refuelling stations set up for the service.<blockquote>当充电插头连接到电动汽车时，汽车将存储车主的付款详细信息，并在为该服务设立的加油站进行非接触式支付。</blockquote> While these are new challenges for established carmakers, Temme, who witnessed first-hand the abrupt shift of Germany's utilities away from nuclear power in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, believes they can be mastered.<blockquote>虽然这些对老牌汽车制造商来说是新的挑战，但亲眼目睹了福岛灾难后德国公用事业公司突然放弃核电的Temme相信这些挑战是可以应对的。</blockquote> \"Utilities must reinvent themselves and transition from nuclear and coal to renewables. In the automotive industry, including at Volkswagen, the question is currently how to consistently shift the focus from conventional vehicles to sustainable mobility,\" she said.<blockquote>“公用事业公司必须重塑自我，从核能和煤炭转向可再生能源。在汽车行业，包括大众汽车，目前的问题是如何始终如一地将重点从传统汽车转向可持续交通，”她说。</blockquote> \"These challenges are of similar magnitude.\"<blockquote>“这些挑战的规模相似。”</blockquote> ($1 = 0.8738 euros)<blockquote>（1美元=0.8738欧元）</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

We always see these investments in the overall context of our group strategy,\" she said. \"That's why building up a comprehensive infrastructure is key.\"<blockquote>“我们正在投资巨大的增长领域，这些领域并不总是必须立即盈利。我们总是在集团战略的整体背景下看待这些投资，”她说。“这就是为什么建立全面的基础设施是关键。”</blockquote> Temme declined to specify the budget she has been given but said Volkswagen, led by Tesla admirer Herbert Diess, has approved the investment requests for the division, which also sells home battery storage systems similar to Tesla's Powerwall.<blockquote>Temme拒绝透露她获得的预算，但表示由特斯拉崇拜者Herbert Diess领导的大众汽车已经批准了该部门的投资请求，该部门还销售类似于特斯拉Powerwall的家用电池存储系统。</blockquote> Volkswagen leads the pack worldwide by far with its investment plans for EVs and batteries through 2030, according to a&nbsp;Reuters analysis, and it is planning to spend 35 billion euros on battery EVs by 2025.<blockquote>据路透社分析，大众汽车在2030年之前的电动汽车和电池投资计划在全球范围内处于领先地位，并计划到2025年在电池电动汽车上花费350亿欧元。</blockquote> PLAYING CATCH UP<blockquote>玩追赶游戏</blockquote> But when it comes to the networks of fast-chargers that many analysts believe are crucial for bringing EVs into the mainstream, VW has some catching up to do.<blockquote>但当谈到快速充电器网络时，许多分析师认为这对于将电动汽车纳入主流至关重要，大众汽车还有一些工作要做。</blockquote> Tesla has been rolling out high-performance Superchargers for years and has a global network of about 30,000 fast-chargers that it says can give a 200 km (125 mile) boost in 15 minutes.<blockquote>特斯拉多年来一直在推出高性能超级充电器，并拥有一个由约30,000个快速充电器组成的全球网络，据称可以在15分钟内充电200公里（125英里）。</blockquote> The company said in October that its own network has doubled in the past 18 months - and will triple over the next two years.<blockquote>该公司在10月份表示，其自己的网络在过去18个月内翻了一番，并将在未来两年内增加两倍。</blockquote> Volkswagen, meanwhile expects its network of fast-chargers to nearly quadruple to about 45,000 by 2025 - when it aims to overhaul Tesla as the global EV market leader - with 18,000 EV pumps in Europe, 17,000 in China and 10,000 in North America.<blockquote>与此同时，大众汽车预计，到2025年，其快速充电器网络将增加近四倍，达到约45,000个，目标是超越特斯拉成为全球电动汽车市场领导者，其中欧洲有18,000个电动汽车泵，中国有17,000个，北美有10,000个。</blockquote> Volkswagen in March said it plans to spend 400 million euros on expanding its fast-charging network on the continent by then.<blockquote>大众汽车今年3月表示，计划届时斥资4亿欧元扩大其在欧洲大陆的快速充电网络。</blockquote> But that's a drop in the ocean compared with the 5 billion euros the European Union reckons is needed every year until 2040 to expand charging infrastructure on the continent, and it is raising the pressure on utilities and governments to step up.<blockquote>但与欧盟估计到2040年每年需要50亿欧元来扩大欧洲大陆的充电基础设施相比，这只是沧海一粟，而且这增加了公用事业公司和政府采取行动的压力。</blockquote> In Europe, the Volkswagen group is a shareholder in the EU's fast-charging venture Ionity, along with rival carmakers BMW, Daimler's&nbsp;Mercedes-Benz, Ford&nbsp;and Hyundai.<blockquote>在欧洲，大众汽车集团是欧盟快速充电企业Ionity的股东，其他股东还有竞争对手汽车制造商宝马、戴姆勒旗下的梅赛德斯-奔驰、福特和现代。</blockquote> It has also teamed up with energy firms such as Italy's Enel, Britain's BP&nbsp;and Spain's Iberdrola&nbsp;to plug geographical gaps and form the blueprint for how funding for EV infrastructure can be split across industries.<blockquote>它还与意大利Enel、英国BP和西班牙Iberdrola等能源公司合作，填补地域差距，并为电动汽车基础设施资金如何跨行业分配制定蓝图。</blockquote> \"Various models are conceivable, from product partnerships and joint ventures to M&amp;A,\" said Temme.<blockquote>“可以想象各种模式，从产品合作伙伴关系和合资企业到并购，”Temme说。</blockquote> CARS AND POWER<blockquote>汽车与动力</blockquote> Tesla has already shown that when it comes to EVs, just selling cars no longer cuts it. It has adopted a model that offers customers everything from cars to battery storage to solar panels as well aselectricityin some U.S. states.<blockquote>特斯拉已经表明，在电动汽车方面，仅仅销售汽车已经不够了。它采用了一种模式，为客户提供从汽车到电池存储到太阳能电池板以及美国一些州的电力等一切服务。</blockquote> Volkswagen is now selling power to retail clients that drive an EV or plug-in hybrids. One of its tariffs - which is available to customers who don't own a VW - has attracted more than 10,000 clients since its launch in July, Temme said.<blockquote>大众汽车现在向驾驶电动汽车或插电式混合动力车的零售客户出售电力。Temme表示，自7月份推出以来，其中一项关税（适用于没有大众汽车的客户）已吸引了10,000多名客户。</blockquote> She said VW was planning to make its fast-chargers available for all EV drivers, unlike Tesla which has so far kept its supercharging network just for Tesla drivers - with the exception of a pilot programme in the Netherlands.<blockquote>她表示，大众汽车计划向所有电动汽车驾驶员提供快速充电器，而特斯拉迄今为止仅为特斯拉驾驶员保留其超级充电网络，但荷兰的试点计划除外。</blockquote> \"We are pursuing a different approach than Tesla when it comes to charging infrastructure roll-out,\" said Temme.<blockquote>“在充电基础设施的推出方面，我们正在采取与特斯拉不同的方法，”Temme说。</blockquote> \"We want an open, non-discriminatory charging network and will develop our services to make our offer more comfortable, simpler, more attractive.\"<blockquote>“我们想要一个开放、非歧视性的充电网络，并将开发我们的服务，使我们的服务更舒适、更简单、更有吸引力。”</blockquote> Volkswagen says its open-for-all approach means buyers of its EVs can charge at more than 250,000 existing public charging points across Europe - from various providers with various charging speeds.<blockquote>大众汽车表示，其向所有人开放的方式意味着其电动汽车的买家可以在欧洲超过25万个现有的公共充电点充电——这些充电点来自不同的提供商，具有不同的充电速度。</blockquote> The problem is that charging protocols and payment methods can vary across vendors, potentially turning the act of refueling an EV into a time-consuming and messy undertaking.<blockquote>问题在于，不同供应商的充电协议和支付方式可能会有所不同，这可能会将电动汽车加油的行为变成一项耗时且混乱的任务。</blockquote> From the first quarter of 2022, Volkswagen plans to offer \"Plug &amp; Charge\" technology in Europe to make the process smoother.<blockquote>从2022年第一季度开始，大众汽车计划在欧洲提供“即插即充”技术，以使这一过程更加顺利。</blockquote> The car will store the owner's payment details and make a contactless payment when the charging plug is attached to the EV at refuelling stations set up for the service.<blockquote>当充电插头连接到电动汽车时，汽车将存储车主的付款详细信息，并在为该服务设立的加油站进行非接触式支付。</blockquote> While these are new challenges for established carmakers, Temme, who witnessed first-hand the abrupt shift of Germany's utilities away from nuclear power in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, believes they can be mastered.<blockquote>虽然这些对老牌汽车制造商来说是新的挑战，但亲眼目睹了福岛灾难后德国公用事业公司突然放弃核电的Temme相信这些挑战是可以应对的。</blockquote> \"Utilities must reinvent themselves and transition from nuclear and coal to renewables. In the automotive industry, including at Volkswagen, the question is currently how to consistently shift the focus from conventional vehicles to sustainable mobility,\" she said.<blockquote>“公用事业公司必须重塑自我，从核能和煤炭转向可再生能源。在汽车行业，包括大众汽车，目前的问题是如何始终如一地将重点从传统汽车转向可持续交通，”她说。</blockquote> \"These challenges are of similar magnitude.\"<blockquote>“这些挑战的规模相似。”</blockquote> ($1 = 0.8738 euros)<blockquote>（1美元=0.8738欧元）</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/volkswagen-powers-up-grid-take-tesla-2021-11-17/\">Reuters</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉","VLKAF":"Volkswagen AG"},"source_url":"https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/volkswagen-powers-up-grid-take-tesla-2021-11-17/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1125512482","content_text":"Volkswagen plans to double staff numbers at its charging and energy division, roll out new payment technology next year and strike more alliances to take on Tesla in a key electric vehicle (EV) battleground: power infrastructure.\nBy ensuring there are enough fast-charging plugs - and enough power - for the EVs it wants to sell, Europe's biggest carmaker hopes to convince drivers worried about battery ranges that they can ditch their fossil fuel cars for good.\nUnderlining its electric ambition, Volkswagen has drafted in power industry veteran Elke Temme, who spent nearly two decades at German energy companies RWE and Innogy, to help the carmaker get in better shape to take on Tesla.\nIn the job since January, Temme, 53, has been tasked with bundling the carmaker's various power activities such as procuring energy, enabling customers to charge their cars at home, and on the road, and selling the electricity required.\nGetting this done will require a bigger workforce and Temme plans to double the staff at Volkswagen's European charging and energy division, known as Elli, to about 300 in 2022, having already tripled it this year, she told Reuters in an interview.\n\"We're investing in huge growth areas that don't always have to be profitable right away.

We always see these investments in the overall context of our group strategy,\" she said. \"That's why building up a comprehensive infrastructure is key.\"<blockquote>“我们正在投资巨大的增长领域，这些领域并不总是必须立即盈利。我们总是在集团战略的整体背景下看待这些投资，”她说。“这就是为什么建立全面的基础设施是关键。”</blockquote> Temme declined to specify the budget she has been given but said Volkswagen, led by Tesla admirer Herbert Diess, has approved the investment requests for the division, which also sells home battery storage systems similar to Tesla's Powerwall.<blockquote>Temme拒绝透露她获得的预算，但表示由特斯拉崇拜者Herbert Diess领导的大众汽车已经批准了该部门的投资请求，该部门还销售类似于特斯拉Powerwall的家用电池存储系统。</blockquote> Volkswagen leads the pack worldwide by far with its investment plans for EVs and batteries through 2030, according to a&nbsp;Reuters analysis, and it is planning to spend 35 billion euros on battery EVs by 2025.<blockquote>据路透社分析，大众汽车在2030年之前的电动汽车和电池投资计划在全球范围内处于领先地位，并计划到2025年在电池电动汽车上花费350亿欧元。</blockquote> PLAYING CATCH UP<blockquote>玩追赶游戏</blockquote> But when it comes to the networks of fast-chargers that many analysts believe are crucial for bringing EVs into the mainstream, VW has some catching up to do.<blockquote>但当谈到快速充电器网络时，许多分析师认为这对于将电动汽车纳入主流至关重要，大众汽车还有一些工作要做。</blockquote> Tesla has been rolling out high-performance Superchargers for years and has a global network of about 30,000 fast-chargers that it says can give a 200 km (125 mile) boost in 15 minutes.<blockquote>特斯拉多年来一直在推出高性能超级充电器，并拥有一个由约30,000个快速充电器组成的全球网络，据称可以在15分钟内充电200公里（125英里）。</blockquote> The company said in October that its own network has doubled in the past 18 months - and will triple over the next two years.<blockquote>该公司在10月份表示，其自己的网络在过去18个月内翻了一番，并将在未来两年内增加两倍。</blockquote> Volkswagen, meanwhile expects its network of fast-chargers to nearly quadruple to about 45,000 by 2025 - when it aims to overhaul Tesla as the global EV market leader - with 18,000 EV pumps in Europe, 17,000 in China and 10,000 in North America.<blockquote>与此同时，大众汽车预计，到2025年，其快速充电器网络将增加近四倍，达到约45,000个，目标是超越特斯拉成为全球电动汽车市场领导者，其中欧洲有18,000个电动汽车泵，中国有17,000个，北美有10,000个。</blockquote> Volkswagen in March said it plans to spend 400 million euros on expanding its fast-charging network on the continent by then.<blockquote>大众汽车今年3月表示，计划届时斥资4亿欧元扩大其在欧洲大陆的快速充电网络。</blockquote> But that's a drop in the ocean compared with the 5 billion euros the European Union reckons is needed every year until 2040 to expand charging infrastructure on the continent, and it is raising the pressure on utilities and governments to step up.<blockquote>但与欧盟估计到2040年每年需要50亿欧元来扩大欧洲大陆的充电基础设施相比，这只是沧海一粟，而且这增加了公用事业公司和政府采取行动的压力。</blockquote> In Europe, the Volkswagen group is a shareholder in the EU's fast-charging venture Ionity, along with rival carmakers BMW, Daimler's&nbsp;Mercedes-Benz, Ford&nbsp;and Hyundai.<blockquote>在欧洲，大众汽车集团是欧盟快速充电企业Ionity的股东，其他股东还有竞争对手汽车制造商宝马、戴姆勒旗下的梅赛德斯-奔驰、福特和现代。</blockquote> It has also teamed up with energy firms such as Italy's Enel, Britain's BP&nbsp;and Spain's Iberdrola&nbsp;to plug geographical gaps and form the blueprint for how funding for EV infrastructure can be split across industries.<blockquote>它还与意大利Enel、英国BP和西班牙Iberdrola等能源公司合作，填补地域差距，并为电动汽车基础设施资金如何跨行业分配制定蓝图。</blockquote> \"Various models are conceivable, from product partnerships and joint ventures to M&amp;A,\" said Temme.<blockquote>“可以想象各种模式，从产品合作伙伴关系和合资企业到并购，”Temme说。</blockquote> CARS AND POWER<blockquote>汽车与动力</blockquote> Tesla has already shown that when it comes to EVs, just selling cars no longer cuts it. It has adopted a model that offers customers everything from cars to battery storage to solar panels as well aselectricityin some U.S. states.<blockquote>特斯拉已经表明，在电动汽车方面，仅仅销售汽车已经不够了。它采用了一种模式，为客户提供从汽车到电池存储到太阳能电池板以及美国一些州的电力等一切服务。</blockquote> Volkswagen is now selling power to retail clients that drive an EV or plug-in hybrids. One of its tariffs - which is available to customers who don't own a VW - has attracted more than 10,000 clients since its launch in July, Temme said.<blockquote>大众汽车现在向驾驶电动汽车或插电式混合动力车的零售客户出售电力。Temme表示，自7月份推出以来，其中一项关税（适用于没有大众汽车的客户）已吸引了10,000多名客户。</blockquote> She said VW was planning to make its fast-chargers available for all EV drivers, unlike Tesla which has so far kept its supercharging network just for Tesla drivers - with the exception of a pilot programme in the Netherlands.<blockquote>她表示，大众汽车计划向所有电动汽车驾驶员提供快速充电器，而特斯拉迄今为止仅为特斯拉驾驶员保留其超级充电网络，但荷兰的试点计划除外。</blockquote> \"We are pursuing a different approach than Tesla when it comes to charging infrastructure roll-out,\" said Temme.<blockquote>“在充电基础设施的推出方面，我们正在采取与特斯拉不同的方法，”Temme说。</blockquote> \"We want an open, non-discriminatory charging network and will develop our services to make our offer more comfortable, simpler, more attractive.\"<blockquote>“我们想要一个开放、非歧视性的充电网络，并将开发我们的服务，使我们的服务更舒适、更简单、更有吸引力。”</blockquote> Volkswagen says its open-for-all approach means buyers of its EVs can charge at more than 250,000 existing public charging points across Europe - from various providers with various charging speeds.<blockquote>大众汽车表示，其向所有人开放的方式意味着其电动汽车的买家可以在欧洲超过25万个现有的公共充电点充电——这些充电点来自不同的提供商，具有不同的充电速度。</blockquote> The problem is that charging protocols and payment methods can vary across vendors, potentially turning the act of refueling an EV into a time-consuming and messy undertaking.<blockquote>问题在于，不同供应商的充电协议和支付方式可能会有所不同，这可能会将电动汽车加油的行为变成一项耗时且混乱的任务。</blockquote> From the first quarter of 2022, Volkswagen plans to offer \"Plug &amp; Charge\" technology in Europe to make the process smoother.<blockquote>从2022年第一季度开始，大众汽车计划在欧洲提供“即插即充”技术，以使这一过程更加顺利。</blockquote> The car will store the owner's payment details and make a contactless payment when the charging plug is attached to the EV at refuelling stations set up for the service.<blockquote>当充电插头连接到电动汽车时，汽车将存储车主的付款详细信息，并在为该服务设立的加油站进行非接触式支付。</blockquote> While these are new challenges for established carmakers, Temme, who witnessed first-hand the abrupt shift of Germany's utilities away from nuclear power in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, believes they can be mastered.<blockquote>虽然这些对老牌汽车制造商来说是新的挑战，但亲眼目睹了福岛灾难后德国公用事业公司突然放弃核电的Temme相信这些挑战是可以应对的。</blockquote> \"Utilities must reinvent themselves and transition from nuclear and coal to renewables. In the automotive industry, including at Volkswagen, the question is currently how to consistently shift the focus from conventional vehicles to sustainable mobility,\" she said.<blockquote>“公用事业公司必须重塑自我，从核能和煤炭转向可再生能源。在汽车行业，包括大众汽车，目前的问题是如何始终如一地将重点从传统汽车转向可持续交通，”她说。</blockquote> \"These challenges are of similar magnitude.\"<blockquote>“这些挑战的规模相似。”</blockquote> ($1 = 0.8738 euros)<blockquote>（1美元=0.8738欧元）</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/volkswagen-powers-up-grid-take-tesla-2021-11-17/\">Reuters</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉","VLKAF":"Volkswagen AG"},"source_url":"https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/volkswagen-powers-up-grid-take-tesla-2021-11-17/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1125512482","content_text":"Volkswagen plans to double staff numbers at its charging and energy division, roll out new payment technology next year and strike more alliances to take on Tesla in a key electric vehicle (EV) battleground: power infrastructure.\nBy ensuring there are enough fast-charging plugs - and enough power - for the EVs it wants to sell, Europe's biggest carmaker hopes to convince drivers worried about battery ranges that they can ditch their fossil fuel cars for good.\nUnderlining its electric ambition, Volkswagen has drafted in power industry veteran Elke Temme, who spent nearly two decades at German energy companies RWE and Innogy, to help the carmaker get in better shape to take on Tesla.\nIn the job since January, Temme, 53, has been tasked with bundling the carmaker's various power activities such as procuring energy, enabling customers to charge their cars at home, and on the road, and selling the electricity required.\nGetting this done will require a bigger workforce and Temme plans to double the staff at Volkswagen's European charging and energy division, known as Elli, to about 300 in 2022, having already tripled it this year, she told Reuters in an interview.\n\"We're investing in huge growth areas that don't always have to be profitable right away.

We always see these investments in the overall context of our group strategy,\" she said. \"That's why building up a comprehensive infrastructure is key.\"<blockquote>“我们正在投资巨大的增长领域，这些领域并不总是必须立即盈利。我们总是在集团战略的整体背景下看待这些投资，”她说。“这就是为什么建立全面的基础设施是关键。”</blockquote> Temme declined to specify the budget she has been given but said Volkswagen, led by Tesla admirer Herbert Diess, has approved the investment requests for the division, which also sells home battery storage systems similar to Tesla's Powerwall.<blockquote>Temme拒绝透露她获得的预算，但表示由特斯拉崇拜者Herbert Diess领导的大众汽车已经批准了该部门的投资请求，该部门还销售类似于特斯拉Powerwall的家用电池存储系统。</blockquote> Volkswagen leads the pack worldwide by far with its investment plans for EVs and batteries through 2030, according to a&nbsp;Reuters analysis, and it is planning to spend 35 billion euros on battery EVs by 2025.<blockquote>据路透社分析，大众汽车在2030年之前的电动汽车和电池投资计划在全球范围内处于领先地位，并计划到2025年在电池电动汽车上花费350亿欧元。</blockquote> PLAYING CATCH UP<blockquote>玩追赶游戏</blockquote> But when it comes to the networks of fast-chargers that many analysts believe are crucial for bringing EVs into the mainstream, VW has some catching up to do.<blockquote>但当谈到快速充电器网络时，许多分析师认为这对于将电动汽车纳入主流至关重要，大众汽车还有一些工作要做。</blockquote> Tesla has been rolling out high-performance Superchargers for years and has a global network of about 30,000 fast-chargers that it says can give a 200 km (125 mile) boost in 15 minutes.<blockquote>特斯拉多年来一直在推出高性能超级充电器，并拥有一个由约30,000个快速充电器组成的全球网络，据称可以在15分钟内充电200公里（125英里）。</blockquote> The company said in October that its own network has doubled in the past 18 months - and will triple over the next two years.<blockquote>该公司在10月份表示，其自己的网络在过去18个月内翻了一番，并将在未来两年内增加两倍。</blockquote> Volkswagen, meanwhile expects its network of fast-chargers to nearly quadruple to about 45,000 by 2025 - when it aims to overhaul Tesla as the global EV market leader - with 18,000 EV pumps in Europe, 17,000 in China and 10,000 in North America.<blockquote>与此同时，大众汽车预计，到2025年，其快速充电器网络将增加近四倍，达到约45,000个，目标是超越特斯拉成为全球电动汽车市场领导者，其中欧洲有18,000个电动汽车泵，中国有17,000个，北美有10,000个。</blockquote> Volkswagen in March said it plans to spend 400 million euros on expanding its fast-charging network on the continent by then.<blockquote>大众汽车今年3月表示，计划届时斥资4亿欧元扩大其在欧洲大陆的快速充电网络。</blockquote> But that's a drop in the ocean compared with the 5 billion euros the European Union reckons is needed every year until 2040 to expand charging infrastructure on the continent, and it is raising the pressure on utilities and governments to step up.<blockquote>但与欧盟估计到2040年每年需要50亿欧元来扩大欧洲大陆的充电基础设施相比，这只是沧海一粟，而且这增加了公用事业公司和政府采取行动的压力。</blockquote> In Europe, the Volkswagen group is a shareholder in the EU's fast-charging venture Ionity, along with rival carmakers BMW, Daimler's&nbsp;Mercedes-Benz, Ford&nbsp;and Hyundai.<blockquote>在欧洲，大众汽车集团是欧盟快速充电企业Ionity的股东，其他股东还有竞争对手汽车制造商宝马、戴姆勒旗下的梅赛德斯-奔驰、福特和现代。</blockquote> It has also teamed up with energy firms such as Italy's Enel, Britain's BP&nbsp;and Spain's Iberdrola&nbsp;to plug geographical gaps and form the blueprint for how funding for EV infrastructure can be split across industries.<blockquote>它还与意大利Enel、英国BP和西班牙Iberdrola等能源公司合作，填补地域差距，并为电动汽车基础设施资金如何跨行业分配制定蓝图。</blockquote> \"Various models are conceivable, from product partnerships and joint ventures to M&amp;A,\" said Temme.<blockquote>“可以想象各种模式，从产品合作伙伴关系和合资企业到并购，”Temme说。</blockquote> CARS AND POWER<blockquote>汽车与动力</blockquote> Tesla has already shown that when it comes to EVs, just selling cars no longer cuts it. It has adopted a model that offers customers everything from cars to battery storage to solar panels as well aselectricityin some U.S. states.<blockquote>特斯拉已经表明，在电动汽车方面，仅仅销售汽车已经不够了。它采用了一种模式，为客户提供从汽车到电池存储到太阳能电池板以及美国一些州的电力等一切服务。</blockquote> Volkswagen is now selling power to retail clients that drive an EV or plug-in hybrids. One of its tariffs - which is available to customers who don't own a VW - has attracted more than 10,000 clients since its launch in July, Temme said.<blockquote>大众汽车现在向驾驶电动汽车或插电式混合动力车的零售客户出售电力。Temme表示，自7月份推出以来，其中一项关税（适用于没有大众汽车的客户）已吸引了10,000多名客户。</blockquote> She said VW was planning to make its fast-chargers available for all EV drivers, unlike Tesla which has so far kept its supercharging network just for Tesla drivers - with the exception of a pilot programme in the Netherlands.<blockquote>她表示，大众汽车计划向所有电动汽车驾驶员提供快速充电器，而特斯拉迄今为止仅为特斯拉驾驶员保留其超级充电网络，但荷兰的试点计划除外。</blockquote> \"We are pursuing a different approach than Tesla when it comes to charging infrastructure roll-out,\" said Temme.<blockquote>“在充电基础设施的推出方面，我们正在采取与特斯拉不同的方法，”Temme说。</blockquote> \"We want an open, non-discriminatory charging network and will develop our services to make our offer more comfortable, simpler, more attractive.\"<blockquote>“我们想要一个开放、非歧视性的充电网络，并将开发我们的服务，使我们的服务更舒适、更简单、更有吸引力。”</blockquote> Volkswagen says its open-for-all approach means buyers of its EVs can charge at more than 250,000 existing public charging points across Europe - from various providers with various charging speeds.<blockquote>大众汽车表示，其向所有人开放的方式意味着其电动汽车的买家可以在欧洲超过25万个现有的公共充电点充电——这些充电点来自不同的提供商，具有不同的充电速度。</blockquote> The problem is that charging protocols and payment methods can vary across vendors, potentially turning the act of refueling an EV into a time-consuming and messy undertaking.<blockquote>问题在于，不同供应商的充电协议和支付方式可能会有所不同，这可能会将电动汽车加油的行为变成一项耗时且混乱的任务。</blockquote> From the first quarter of 2022, Volkswagen plans to offer \"Plug &amp; Charge\" technology in Europe to make the process smoother.<blockquote>从2022年第一季度开始，大众汽车计划在欧洲提供“即插即充”技术，以使这一过程更加顺利。</blockquote> The car will store the owner's payment details and make a contactless payment when the charging plug is attached to the EV at refuelling stations set up for the service.<blockquote>当充电插头连接到电动汽车时，汽车将存储车主的付款详细信息，并在为该服务设立的加油站进行非接触式支付。</blockquote> While these are new challenges for established carmakers, Temme, who witnessed first-hand the abrupt shift of Germany's utilities away from nuclear power in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, believes they can be mastered.<blockquote>虽然这些对老牌汽车制造商来说是新的挑战，但亲眼目睹了福岛灾难后德国公用事业公司突然放弃核电的Temme相信这些挑战是可以应对的。</blockquote> \"Utilities must reinvent themselves and transition from nuclear and coal to renewables.
