RE:RE:RE:German next steps VW is extremely aware of today's tech savvy EV buyers ESG awareness to the GHG make up of the car they are laying out hard cash for.
Who wants to say they have a 60% dirty nickel car? Canadian CNC clean net zero nickel with the trademark stamp on it will be a biggie IMO.
“Today, we want to go much deeper into the supply chain,” Pierre Boutin, chief executive of Volkswagen Canada, said. “How credible can you be today if you don’t know for sure the GHG impact of a vehicle through years of ownership?”
For this reason, Boutin said VW is not only contemplating investments in Canadian mining companies, but has also begun recruiting people in Canada who understand the critical mineral supply chain."
