Volkswagen showcased its upcoming entry-level, affordable electric car, the ID.EVERY1, priced at €2.
Volkswagen showcased its upcoming entry-level electric vehicle, the ID.EVERY1, at an event in Wolfsburg, Germany. Designed for the mass market, it offers a smart and flexible user experience while emphasizing a reasonable price. The model presented was still a concept design, with technology potentially derived from Volkswagen's collaboration with Rivian. Volkswagen plans to officially launch the production version in 2027, with an expected price of €20,000 (approximately NT$708,623.75). In addition to the ID.EVERY1, Volkswagen plans to launch at least four more front-wheel-drive, affordable entry-level electric vehicles (including the ID.EVERY1) by 2027, aiming to promote electric vehicles more widely. Similar strategies are being adopted by companies like Tesla and Foxconn's MIH, which also plan to launch affordable electric vehicles to compete with Chinese brands in the price segment. The ID.EVERY1 is equipped with a 70kW (approximately 94 horsepower) electric motor, capable of accelerating to over 80 mph (approximately 130 km/h) and boasting a maximum electric range of over 155 miles (approximately 250 km). Its compact design accommodates four passengers (including the driver) and provides a cargo volume of approximately 10.8 cubic feet (approximately 0.31 cubic meters). However, Volkswagen currently only plans to offer the ID.EVERY1 in the European market and has no plans to offer it in other markets such as the United States at this stage.
