Market Quick Take

Volkswagen is considering an IPO for its battery division according to Handelsblatt. 

The German carmaker is saying that building out battery capacity will be expensive and sharing the financing and risk with other investors is something the company is considering.

Volkswagen is also looking at vertical integration adding raw materials production and recycling to its value-chain.

In the interview the company also mentions the outlook for solid-state batteries with a target of 2025-2026 being the years of the first pilot programme. This statement could weigh on QuantumScape (VW own 26% of the battery maker) in today’s trading session.
