Volkswagen is Investing $40 Billion Into Their Electric CarsVW adopts Tesla strategy to foster storage and power generation

Elli, who according to its CEO, Thorsten Nicklass, derives from Electric Life, aims to make life simpler and cheaper for motorists who opt for electric mobility. And by the way the situation is evolving in Europe, by 2030 more than 30% of the vehicles sold have to be 100% electric - only in this way will it be possible to meet the increasingly restrictive CO2 emissions - a figure that will continue to rise in the following years. Aware of this reality, Volkswagen is trying to find ways to soften the adoption of this technology, as well as lower the bill that it will not necessarily impose.
To do this, the German brand has created Elli Group GmbH, whose objective is to propose wallboxes and other types of load stations, energy management systems, microgeneration of electricity through photovoltaic panels, as well as being placed on the market as supplier of green energy . This type of proposal should be well accepted by the brand's customers, while at the same time putting a smile on the face of Elon Musk, who was the one who anticipated all this when he created SolarCity in 2006, which later joined Tesla.Battery-powered cars will change the way we relate to energy, at least in terms of mobility. The pump stops to fill up, but in return, a series of other activities begins, starting with recharging the battery.
It is good to keep in mind that the increase in sales of electric vehicles, now very well seen by the government since it improves air quality and reduces the import of crude oil, with all the advantages that come from it, will soon cause them strong pains, if not in the head, at least in the state coffers. This is all because, as the number of electric cars increases and gasoline or diesel fuels decrease, the resultant collection of taxes on petroleum products will also fall, forcing governments to find new sources of revenue necessarily associated with consumption.
It is this situation that in the long run will lead more and more people to adopt particular systems that allow them to store energy at night, when it is surplus and cheaper, through stationary batteries, then use it during the day for illumination , heating and even to recharge the car. A more advanced phase of this same solution aims at transforming each of us into electricity producers by assembling solar panels - or tiles that perform the same function - on the roof of houses and buildings, storing the energy produced there for later use by the family and their respective vehicles. This solution is good for the portfolio of each, if or when it is proposed by competitive values, in terms of costs and interest. It is also very interesting for the country, since when more microproducers of energy exist, less dams, wind farms and photovoltaic parks the State has to build or subsidize. And it's good to see car manufacturers worried about something more than just selling means of transportation, turning a blind eye to the global Picture.
