VW is also licensing their EV platform to other manufacturers. Ford will use VW's "Modularer E-Antriebs-Baukasten" (MEB) for some (maybe even all) of their new EV models. VW is currently killing it in the EV business and are right in the middle of setting up to lead EV production worldwide.
Many here said VW was slow in adopting EVs but they were working behind the scenes to set up MEB instead of cranking out a few models that needed different components and were all assembled differently. They can now profit from having common components and a unified software that can made into any type of car they want.
