Triumph of the will

Vollkswagen is planning to take on Tesla in a key electric vehicle (EV) battleground – power infrastructure.

VW plans to double staff numbers at its charging and energy division, roll out new payment technology next year and strike more alliances to make sure.

Europe's biggest carmaker hopes to convince drivers worried about battery range by ensuring there are enough fast-charging plugs - and enough power - for the EVs it wants to sell,

VW 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.

Temme 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.
