The company plans to suspend production of ID.3 and Cupra Born electric vehicles at its Zwickau and Dresden plants in Germany in the first two weeks of October, a spokesman said.

Volkswagen’s Zwickau plant plans to reduce the production of electric vehicles during the autumn holidays in Saxony, from October 2 to October 13. The Dresden plant will suspend production of ID.3 electric vehicles from October 2 until production resumes on October 16. Volkswagen declined to comment on the number of employees affected. The company said earlier this month it would not extend the fixed-term contracts of 269 employees at its fully electric vehicle plant in Zwickau.

Volkswagen is facing increasing competition from Tesla and Chinese electric carmakers, and also needs to contend with demand for electric vehicles in Europe that has been affected by high inflation and reduced subsidies.
