I think better than Babbel… quick and dirty translation of the text of the article:
______________
Title: Germany: the electric revolution has started
Subtitle: Several German car brands decided to develop their own line of electric cars
In this plant near to the Polish border, Volkswagen produces only cars with internal combution engines. From next year on, 100% of the cars produced will be electric. In the big hall, of the size of 5 football fields, the workers are busy. They are installing a production line which will assemble 1500 electric cars per day.
Intermediate title: Training of the workers
Everything will change for the workers in the assembly line. 3000 among them will have to go back to school in an internal training center. There they will learn that an electric motor is way less frightening than it looks. The workers have well understood that "electric" is their future. Within the next five years, Volkswagen, BMW and even Mercedes will invest tens of billions of Euro into the electric revolution.
