Electric vehicles
Volkswagen offers the e-up! and the e-Golf as full electric models. An entirely new generation of full electric vehicles is to be launched from 2020: the I.D. family. These cars will be based on the new Modular electric drive matrix (MEB); each of the new I.D. models has a range comparable with current petrol models. Their zero-emission powertrain consists mainly of up to 2 electric motors (front and/or rear), power electronics (to control the high-voltage energy flow between electric motor and battery) a transmission, and a flat high-voltage battery installed in a space-saving configuration in the floorpan. The first models will be the I.D. compact and the I.D. CROZZ SUV, making their debut in 2020. The next model in the series will be the zero-emission I.D. BUZZ van to be launched in 2022.
