Why Volkswagen Stock Is Suddenly Skyrocketing

Shares of German auto giant Volkswagen (OTC: VWAGY) were higher again on Wednesday morning, as investors continued to ponder the implications of the company's plan to surpass Tesla and become the world's largest seller of electric vehicles by 2025.

As of 10 a.m. EDT, Volkswagen's American depositary shares were up about 10.2% from Tuesday's closing price, and up about 30% since last Friday's close.

Volkswagen said on Wednesday that it expects to deliver more than 450,000 electric vehicles (EVs) in 2021, more than double its 2020 total and a big step toward its goal of selling 3 million EVs a year by 2025. The automaker said that deliveries of its new electric crossover SUV, the VW ID.4, will begin later this month in Europe, and soon after in China and the United States. Several other VW-brand electrics -- and related models from other brands within the Volkswagen Group -- will also begin shipping in regional markets before the end of year.
