From the article: “‘We are not scaling back plans for EVs in the U.S. market,’ said Reinhard Fischer, senior vice president and head of strategy at VW Group of America. Speaking at the Reuters Events Automotive USA 2023 conference in Detroit, Fischer said VW plans to build the under-$35,000 EV in the United States or Mexico.”

”VW also is looking at localizing assembly of battery packs for the under-$35,000 EV to qualify for additional incentives under the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, Fischer said. The German automaker previously has announced plans to build battery cells in Canada for its current and future North American-built EVs.”
