Volkswagen Delivers 1.5 Millionth EV, Cementing Leadership in Electromobility with ID Series Expansion
August 15, 2025
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.
