Volkswagen has launched the one and a half millionth electric car in the ID family.
The Volkswagen brand has reached an important milestone on the road to electrification. The 1.5 millionth vehicle of the ID range was handed over to the customer at the Emden plant in Germany in the presence of the Prime Minister of Lower Saxony, Olaf Lies. The jubilee car was a black-coloured ID.7 Tourer Pro station wagon capable of driving up to 606 km on a single WLTP charge.
Here's What We Know
Deliveries of serial electric cars Volkswagen ID. began almost five years ago, in September 2020. Today, Volkswagen leads in sales of electric models in Germany and Europe.
In recent years, Volkswagen has invested more than €1bn in the Emden plant, completely converting the facility to produce electric vehicles. In addition to Emden, plants in Zwickau and Dresden's Gläserne Manufaktur have such specialisation. Electric Volkswagens are also produced in Hanover, the American Chattanooga, and the Chinese Foshan, Changsha and Antin.
The ID. family is constantly expanding. The first model, the ID.3 hatchback, was originally designed as an electric car on a specialised platform. In 2021, it was joined by the crossover ID.4 and its coupé version ID.5, then the minivan ID. Buzz. The latest additions are the ID.7 sedan and the ID.7 Tourer station wagon, which became the best-selling electric car in Germany in the first half of 2025.
Volkswagen has new premieres ahead. In 2026, the production version of the compact ID. 2all costing less than 25,000 euros, followed a year later by the model ID. EVERY1, which will cost around 20,000 euros. "Our goal is simple: to make electric cars accessible to everyone - affordable, reliable and environmentally friendly," emphasised Martin Sander, Volkswagen Board Member for Sales, Marketing and Aftersales.
