Volkswagen Delivers 1.5 Millionth EV, Cementing Leadership in Electromobility with ID Series Expansion
  • Volkswagen Emden has reached a major milestone by delivering 1.5 million electric vehicles from its ID series, with the 1.5 millionth being a Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer Pro delivered in Germany.

  • This achievement underscores Volkswagen's leadership in electromobility and confirms its strategic focus on expanding its EV portfolio.

  • The ID family has expanded rapidly, with new models like the affordable ID.2all and ID. EVERY1 expected in 2026 and 2027 to make electric mobility more accessible.

  • The upcoming ID.2all, a sub-€25,000 compact hatchback, and the ID. EVERY1, a €20,000 model, are designed to compete with the cheapest EVs on the market.

  • Volkswagen emphasizes the importance of governmental incentives to accelerate EV adoption, as most new EVs are currently registered to commercial buyers benefiting from tax breaks.

  • Volkswagen's Emden plant has been transformed into a dedicated electric vehicle manufacturing facility with over one billion euros invested, making it one of the few plants worldwide solely producing EVs.

  • Volkswagen Group's EV sales have increased by 50% year-on-year across all divisions, including passenger and commercial vehicles.

  • Volkswagen now leads EV registrations in Germany and Europe, with a growing portfolio that includes models like ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, ID. Buzz, and recent additions ID.7 and ID.7 Tourer.

  • The ID.7 Tourer Pro offers a range of up to 606 kilometers, exemplifying Volkswagen's leadership in electromobility since the ID. family was launched in September 2020.

  • The milestone celebration was attended by Lower Saxony's Minister President Olaf Lies and Volkswagen Board members, highlighting the significance of this achievement.

  • During the event, Olaf Lies handed over the keys for a special anniversary vehicle to a man from Vechta in a ceremony marking the milestone.
