Volkswagen is close to selling a minority stake in its US electric-vehicle charge business to an arm of Siemens a deal that would value the network at more than $ 2 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.
A sale of a stake in Volkswagen’s Electrify America LLC would generate additional funding as part of a plan to more than double the number of EV charging stations that Electrify America operates across the US and parts of Canada to 1,800 by 2026. Reston, Va.- based Electrify America also offers EV charging stations for use at home.
