Based on the research, we [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1N5-EbJE-JY6cILPETeU8LtbMcSBoPyBgk8Y_w21J1uw/edit?gid=1593122828#gid=1593122828 calculate] that if Volkswagen were to increase its BEV share to 16.7% from 12% in 2020, it will incur a CO2 penalty of 5.3 billion euros. However, it could avoid the penalty by improving efficiency of its ICEs by 12.5% from the 2023 level and pooling in around 219,358 BEVs from another manufacturer. However, it will have to pay the cost of pooling certificate which would be around 575 million euros. On a positive side, if Volkswagen increases its passenger car EU BEV share to around 23.4% by 2025 and improves efficiency of its passenger ICE vehicles by 12.5% between 2023 and 2025, it wouldn't need any pooling to meet the EU CO2 statutory targets for 2025.
