VW in talks with solar power player over electric car ambitions
Berlin
VOLKSWAGEN is in early talks with German solar power equipment maker SMA Solar about working together, the companies said last Friday, as the carmaker pushes ambitious electric car plans to overcome its diesel emissions scandal.
SMA Solar, which makes inverters designed for home storage systems, declined to comment on the specifics of the talks. "It's way too soon; there is nothing yet that we can say," an SMA Solar spokeswoman said last Friday. "When things are ready, we will announce them with VW."
